Brazil / 2014 54% open

Data is also published on the website of the Brazilian planning Ministry: http://www.planejamento.gov.br/ministerio.asp?index=8&ler=t297 But links are broken. In June 2014 the Brazilian government published all budget data as .rdf data on the Open Data Catalogue http://dados.gov.br

Data till 2011 is published on the open data catalogue http://dados.gov.br

More recent data can be downloaded also from the Transparency Portal: http://www.transparencia.gov.br/downloads/ as bulk download per month (the size of each file is so big that this can be regarded as bulk download)

Neither the Transparency Portal nor the Open Data Catalogue specify the license of the data, Example: http://dados.gov.br/dataset/despesas-diretas-do-poder-executivo-federal-publicados-no-portal-da-transparencia/resource/a8eac0a2-7c69-42fe-95fb-4d1819beece1

There is a machine-readable 1:250.000-scale vectorial map data suitable for ingestion in digital map-making systems (GIS), which includes administrative boundaries, water bodies, transportation infrastructure, energy and communication, etc. There are several other map products, at scales both greater and smaller that the above one. The licensing is unclear on the website of IBGE. As no clear license is available it has been evaluated as "not openly licensed". Also, proprietary formats are used to publish data. However, data is claimed to be public domain on Open Street Map, see http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-br/2009-January/000029.html.

The repository of election data is available since 1945. There is no license available on the website. An introductory text explains that data can be freely used by researchers and citizens but no reference is made to open data. Also on the Open Data Catalogue (http://dados.gov.br/dataset/resultado-das-eleicoes/resource/bfd28046-7236-4a4a-82ef-3e0fcd92771c) no license is specified. Data is not timely on the Open Data Catalogue but on the primary source (website of Tribunal Superior Eleitoral).

Since 2009 the Brazilian Federal Institute for Geography and Statistics realizes regular research about economic activity on a monthly base. Data is available for different economic activities and per state. Every ten years the institute realizes a demographic census. Data can be accessed via online services: http://www.sidra.ibge.gov.br/, is presented in time series: http://seriesestatisticas.ibge.gov.br/lista_tema.aspx?op=0&no=8 or can be downloaded: http://downloads.ibge.gov.br/downloads_estatisticas.htm

ANTT theoretically offers timetable data for interstatual bus lines. In order to access the data, users have to fill out a form and can only consult one connection at a time. In Brazil there is no significant public transport on a national level by train. The answers are related to bus transport.

Has metadata about legislation (federal, state and municipal level - even though levels other than federal depend on agreements being made and few are present yet) and also court decision. Users can browse and filter content according to this metadata. Links to the full text are provided, when available, often with multiple sources (eg. the same law on the Presidency's and both Parliament's websites).

Access to company data in Brazil - on a federal level - is very limited. In order to access data, one needs to know the identification number of the company. There is no service where people can search for the identification number if they only know the name. On a state level every state has a company registration agency that maintains company data. Data for the state of São Paulo is available here: https://www.jucesponline.sp.gov.br/Default.aspx

The Brazilian Federal Institute for Geography and Statistics - IBGE produced time series between 1992 and 2009/2010 referring to the air pollution in metropolitan areas. However, these data is not being updated anymore. The data does only cover some Brazilian cities. Additionally to this the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais publishes green house effects based on changes to land coverage in Amazon region: http://inpe-em.ccst.inpe.br/downloads.html. Apart from this data on air quality falls under the authority of the state government. It is provided for the state of São Paulo here: http://www.cetesb.sp.gov.br/ar/qualidade-do-ar/31-publicacoes-e-relatorios The evaluation was made for the air quality data of São Paulo. No (daily) microdata is provided but the report shows a lot of details on the data collection and data for each point of measurement although aggregated over the year.

Zipcodes are sold by the public company "Correios" (Brazilian mail service). But on the website the Brazilian mail service specifies that geocodes are not contained in the dataset: http://www.correios.com.br/para-voce/correios-de-a-a-z/dne
