The current landscape of open data user communities

As part of our research work, we have created a register of all the open data user communities we are aware of and mapped out the characteristics of each one

PreviousOther observationsNextEngagement with data communities

Last updated 2 years ago

The intention of this register is to:

  1. help data publishers identify relevant communities to their work

  2. help individuals looking for communities of support around data use to identify relevant communities which they could join

This register may not reflect some of the open data user communities you are aware of, or may be involved with, so we would encourage you to suggest new additions to the register by following the instructions in the 'about' section.
