Top US Government Data Resources America’s Most Wanted Lynda Kellam Data Services & Government Information Librarian The University of North Carolina at Greensboro

Overview of session Questions to consider: What is it and why is it a top source? What are the newest features (if any)? What are areas for improvement? Sources: data.gov, geodata.gov, American FactFinder, Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Center for Education Statistics, Data Ferrett

Newest kid on the block data.gov

What are some major features? Three catalogs (raw data, tools, geodata) Variety of data formats (xls, xml, csv, kml, etc.) Three catalogs for searching Raw data catalog for searching “raw” data (xml, csv, etc) = download data Tool catalog = links to a mixed bag (rss feeds, reports, widgets, databases for extracting data) Geodata catalog = geocoded data and shapefiles for GIS; Preview is new feature that allows you to preview data before downloading a shapefile

Types of files available Raw Data Catalog Entry

New features Integrated search with search.usa.gov Site for mash ups Mash up using ozone and visibility readings with geographic information about sites of those readings. More info: http://data-gov.tw.rpi.edu/wiki/Demo:_Clean_Air_Status_and_Trends_-_Ozone

GEO Viewer

Uses and Areas for Improvement Great focus on environmental data Good free portal for finding data sources Improvement: Needs more data downloads and fewer links out Go beyond executive branch data More variety of subjects Glitches need to be fixed

Trendsetter Geodata.gov

What are the major features? User account allows saving search criteria and maps Email alerts for saved search criteria Content is from variety of producers Focus is on metadata records Possible to search for data by geography

Search results

Uses and Areas for Improvement Another free portal for tracking down sources Great focus on geographic searching Improvement: Needs clarification on how will work with data.gov Integrate map searching into data.gov?

Most in need of an extreme makeover American FactFinder
