[Open-data-census] Scoring OpenData Completeness

Tue Nov 5 12:50:47 GMT 2013

Hi Andreas,

that is a great idea.
I have used the data from Austrian census and your evaluation to somehow
dedide what will be an appropriate score for Brazilian air pollution data.
I tried to compare also with examples from other countries in order to
measure completeness as the criteria are sometimes vague.

I suggest that we further study one of these datasets and compare datasets
between countries in order to understand which data could be potentially
offered and which datasets are the most complete.

Would you like to work on this?

Who else is interested in finding best datasets and further discussing
evaluation standards?

Best,

Daniela
