Guardian’s Data Store
Not trying to make marketing for Guardian, but this is a very interesting site considering data journalism and data visualization. I am just putting the information together.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/data
“We are drowning in information. The web has given us access to data we would never have found before, from specialist datasets to macroeconomic minutiae. But, look for the simplest fact or statistic and Google will present a million contradictory ones. Where’s the best place to start?That’s how this blog came about. Everyday we work with datasets from around the world. We have had to check this data and make sure it’s the best we can get, from the most credible sources. But then it lives for the moment of the paper’s publication and afterward disappears into a hard drive, rarely to emerge again before updating a year later.”
Besides their award-winning datablog, the site includes:
• The key data of the day
• Our pick of the data blogosphere – which sites have the key posts?
• Search the world’s government data – and global development data
• Featured apps
