[Open-data-census] Information about forms available?

Tue Oct 28 16:51:44 UTC 2014

Hi Ana,

I believe that the Local Census is a distinct initiative, and this 
thread regards the Global Open Data Census, which collects nation-wide 
data. The 30th Oct deadline concerns the Global Census, not the Local 
one. (anyone please correct me if I'm being inaccurate here.)

Filipe Cruz is the editor for the Local Data Census in Portugal, so it'd 
be excellent to liaise with him in order to have the new city data included.

As far as I understood from the video at [1] the forms for submitting datasets have enough information about all the questions. What I would like to know, however, is if this detailed information is available in a downloadable document (word, html,...) and, if yes, where I can find it.
