We aim to make it easy for people – like you – to make enquires of data holders, about the openness of the data they hold — and to record publicly the results of those efforts. We're especially focused on scientific data but anyone can use this service. We're inspired by What Do They Know?, a site which allow citizens to make requests to find out information to which they have a right. It works by identifying the right place to ask, assisting users make requests and publicly displaying the results.
GetTheData is a Q&A site where you can ask your data related questions, including, but not limited to, the following:
where to find data relating to a particular issue;
how to query Linked Data sources to get just the data set you require;
what tools to use to explore a data set in a visual way;
how to cleanse data or get it into a format you can work with using third party visualisation or analysis tools.
