Dear Günther,

Thanks for your note. I would be great if you could instead send it out on the Census/Index discussion list? That way the community can discuss and we can respond there as well.

Thank you,

-Christian

Dear Sir or Madam!

My name is Günther Tschabuschnig from the federal chancellery in Austria and I am from the open data team there.
I am not sure if you can change it yet – but there must be a mistake in your information mining  about some Austrian data.

The Austrian ZIP Codes:
There is an WSDL API available for that.  You can find it here: https://www.data.gv.at/datensatz/?id=b9ba4b86-f04c-4a0e-96c4-188063e2668f

Public – yes
Free – yes
Oline – yes
Open License – yes (cc by 3.0 AT)
Provided on time – yes (API)

Data of the statistics do HAVE an open license:
https://www.data.gv.at/suche/?top10Filter_Statistik Austria=on&publisherFilter_Statistik Austria=on#showresults
and: http://data.statistik.gv.at/web/?page=terms

next point -> law:

The information

“Aggregate data for bulk download of all federal law is made available through the government's open data portal: RIS - Bundesrecht konsolidiert<https://www.data.gv.at/datensatz/?id=31430a9f-c8ba-4654-ab68-c9c3dff0361b>. However, this archive is now several months behind the latest laws available on the RIS website, which is under Copyright and charges fees<https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/UI/Info.aspx> on some data extracts.”

is wrong!

The law information via the open data portal is a real time API and not several months behind the last avaliable data. Law cannot (!) be under copyright in Austria – it has to be public domain!
The information behind the link “charges fees<https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/UI/Info.aspx>” is something totally different (is just for special law companies) and has nothing(!) to do with open data.
We provide the law data in the federal chancellery!

Please change the information.

For any more deteails please contact me or the local OKF chapter in Austria as well.

Best regards, Günther Tschabuschnig
