The up-to-date legislation is available in web portal, but it was not not possible to download. See discussion (in Finnish) http://avoindata.net/210/saako-lainsaadannon-eli-finlexin-avoimena

Now it has been published as linked data. The semantic structure is still work in progress but data is now there and fully open.

OM on ollut viime vuodesta lähtien mukana Aalto-yliopiston Linked Data Finland - hankkeessa. Yhtenä hankkeen osana on lainsäädännön koneluettavan aineiston tuottaminen ja verkkopalvelun valmistelu. Hankkeen rahoitus ei ollut riittävä koko Finlexin uudistetun palvelun tuottamiseen, minkä vuoksi meillä on parhaillaan lisärahoitusta koskeva selvittely meneillään VM:n Avoimen hallinnon toimintaohjelman kanssa. Jotain on jo saatu julkiseen verkkoon ikäänkuin näyteaineistona. Viime viikon lopussa julkaistiin lainsäädäntö- ja oikeuskäytäntöaineistoista ensimmäinen aineistopaketti Linked Data Finland -hankkeen verkkosivuilla www.ldf.fi - osion nimi on hienosti Semantic Finlex ja sen tarkka osoite on http://www.ldf.fi/semantic-finlex.html Semanttista Finlexiä on siis tarkoitus viimeistellä lähikuukausien aikana.

Up to date emission measurements are published in we portal (www.ilmanlaatu.fi). The data exists in digital format in the data service of the Finnish Environment Institute SYKR (http://www.syke.fi/en-US).

Currently the free downloads of the Zipcodes DO NOT include location data i.e. coordinates and boundaries of the Zip-code areas.

Direct link to download the data without coordinates (ftp://ftp2.itella.com/) requires a HTTP username and password. Itella is a northern European business services and logistics firm (see www.itella.com). Coordinate data can be purchased from elsewhere.
