The Global Open Data Index (GODI) is an independent assessment of open government data publication from a civic perspective. GODI enables different open data stakeholders to track government’s progress on open data release. GODI intentionally limits its inquiry to the publication of national government data. It does not look at other aspects of the common open data assessment framework such as context, use or impact. This narrow focus enables it to provide a standardised, robust, comparable assessment of open data around the world. While we are only looking at publication, we are yet to cover data quality which is a significant barrier to reuse. GODI measures the openness of 14 clearly defined data categories (individual scores are also provided on each category): 1) budget; 2) spending; 3) procurement; 4) election results; 5) company register; 6) land ownership; 7) national maps; 8) administrative boundaries; 9) locations; 10) national statistics; 11) draft legislation; 12) national law; 13) air quality; 14) water quality.
