What if I am having difficulty downloading a dataset from the catalog? Media InquiriesWell-nighData.gov Who ripened Data.gov? Data.gov is managed and hosted by the U.S. General Services Administration, Technology Transformation Service. Top With what technology is Data.gov built? Data.gov is powered by two unshut source applications, CKAN and WordPress, and it is ripened publicly on GitHub. Learn how you can contribute to Data.gov and these larger unshut source projects here. Top What standards were used to develop the metadata displayed on Data.gov? Data.gov follows the ProjectUnshutData schema – a set of required fields (Title, Description, Tags, Last Update, Publisher, Contact Name, etc.) for every data set displayed on Data.gov. Top What metrics are misogynist well-nigh data on Data.gov? On the Metrics page, users can get detailed information well-nigh the sonnet of the total number of datasets on Data.gov. The total number of datasets, misogynist on the Metrics page and on the main Data.gov andItemizepages, is a number that changes frequently. Because the Data.gov itemize is updated on a nightly basis, the total number is subject to transpiration as agencies add or delete datasets or Data.gov adds new agencies. Agencies may moreover group similar datasets into a “collection.” A “collection” counts as “1” dataset in the total, so the number of datasets may waif when agencies organize similar datasets into a collection, plane though there has not been a reduction in what’s misogynist on Data.gov. Occasionally, a technical issue could upspring when the Data.gov itemize runs into a problem harvesting an agency’s metadata and moreover rationalization a temporary waif in the total number of datasets. As of June 2017, the approximately 200,000 datasets reported as the total on Data.gov represents well-nigh 10 million data resources. The Metrics page moreover provides a detailed dispersal of the dataset total by type of source and by agency. While most Data.gov datasets are from federal agencies, the Metrics page moreover shows how many datasets are provided by state, county, and municipality data catalogs that make their datasets misogynist through Data.gov. Under each type of organization, users can see how many datasets are provided by each federal agency. For larger agencies, such as the Department of Agriculture, clicking on the + symbol will remoter dispersal of the USDA dataset total by each subagency. The “Latest Entry” post on the right shows the most recent stage when the Data.gov itemize detected an update to the agency’s metadata. The stage listed is the most recent stage when the organ added, deleted, or reverted a dataset. Top Get Data on Data.gov How are the datasets on Data.gov collected? Under the terms of the 2013 Federal Open Data Policy, newly-generated government data is required to be made misogynist in open, machine-readable formats, while standing to ensure privacy and security. Government data publishers looking to get their data on Data.gov should read the detailed guide: How to get your unshut data on Data.gov. The Data.gov team typically works with a designated unshut data point of contact as a liaison for each agency. Data publishers should consult with their organ point of contact to include any spare datasets on Data.gov. If you need help determining who your unshut data point of contact is, please contact us. Federal CFO-Act agencies are required to: Create a SingleOrganData Inventory. Agencies are required to itemize their data assets, just like they would inventory computers or sedentary chairs, to largest manage and use these resources. Publish a Public Data Listing. Agencies are required to publish a list of their data resources that are public, or could be made public. This list is made misogynist as a data.json file hosted at the primary domain of the organ (e.g. gsa.gov/data.json) Develop New Public Feedback Mechanisms. Agencies are required to set up feedback mechanisms to engage the public well-nigh where agencies should focus unshut data efforts, such as facilitating and prioritizing the release of datasets. Agencies are moreover required to identify public points of contacts for organ datasets.OrganPublic Data Listings are made misogynist on organ websites as JSON files pursuit the ProjectUnshutData metadata schema (at agency.gov/data.json) and are then harvested into the inside itemize for Data.gov.  Each organ is responsible for its own data. Top How can I add my government data to Data.gov? Data.gov is primarily a federal unshut government data site. However, state, local, and tribal governments can moreover syndicate metadata describing their unshut data resources on Data.gov for greater discoverability. Data.gov does not host data directly, but rather aggregates metadata well-nigh unshut data resources in one internal location. Once an unshut data source meets the necessary format and metadata requirements, the Data.gov team can pull directly from it as a Harvest Source, synchronizing that source’s metadata on Data.gov as often as every 24 hours. Step 1: Organize your unshut data for the Data.gov Pipeline Getting your data source ready for harvesting by the Data.gov itemize differs depending on the type of source: Federal Data with ProjectUnshutData: The most worldwide source is the Public Data Listing as required by the FederalUnshutData Policy. Federal Geospatial Data: A number of federal agencies hold geospatial data which has separate requirements under variegated legal authorities. Non-Federal Data: Non-federal sources are not covered by the FederalUnshutData Policy, but can be included in the Data.gov itemize voluntarily. Depending on your platform, creating this harvester might just be the push of a sawed-off or it could take a little increasingly work, but the team will walk you through it either way. (See: https://www.data.gov/local/add ) Step 2: Coordinate with Data.gov Contact the Data.gov team. Contact the Data.gov team (datagov@gsa.gov) to let them know you’d like to get started. Please include a link to your metadata in the data.json format or let us know if you have questions well-nigh how to create a data.json file from your current database withal with any relevant links. Connecting the pipes. The Data.gov team will create a new Harvest Source that will automatically collect information well-nigh your datasets and update Data.gov whenever changes are made on your data catalog. Testing. The Data.gov team will test to ensure the harvester works properly. If anything seems wrong, the team will help you configure your data itemize so that Data.gov can collect your datasets without any errors. Live within 24 hours! Once the harvester has been tested successfully, Data.gov will start automatically consuming information well-nigh your datasets and all the vital details of your datasets will be misogynist on Data.gov with links to the source and your unshut data policy. Top Data.gov Search & Feedback How do I find data on Data.gov? You can search Data.gov from its catalog of government data from wideness the Federal Government. Once in the catalog, to find datasets you can: Enter keywords in the search box. Browse on the left side through types, tags, formats, groups, organization types, organizations, and categories.  Clicking on multiple items narrows your search.  You can click on the “x” to the side of any single item to remove it from the search, or “clear all” to remove all selected items in a category. Search by geospatial zone by drawing a purlieus box on the map at the left side and clicking “Apply” to find all datasets that are tagged for that geographic area. Once you find a dataset or tool of interest, click on the title and you will be taken to a page with increasingly details on that specific dataset or tool. Some datasets are downloadable, while others are links to web sites or apps that help you wangle or use the data. Please note that by accessing datasets or tools offered on Data.gov, you stipulate to the Data Policy, which you should read surpassing accessing any data. If there are spare datasets that you would like to see included on this site, please suggest increasingly datasets here. Top What if I am having difficulty downloading a dataset from the catalog? Please tell us what the problem with the dataset is so that we can correct it.
