Iceland 48% open

The data comes from two different public bodies. Access address registry is available from Þjóðskrá Íslands (National registry). Border polygons come from Landmælingar Íslands (National land survey).

National land survey's website requires registration where a link (which expires in 2 days) is emailed to the user. However the national open data portal, http://opingogn.is contains a direct link to the data without registration. That can be regarded as an official source for this index.

Links to data and license are restricted to the access address registry. Boundaries are available at http://opingogn.is/dataset/is-50v-mork-isn93 under this license http://www.lmi.is/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Almskilm.pdf

English version of license terms is available at: http://www.lmi.is/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/licenceNLSI.pdf Users have to register to have access to the service. A download link is provided that can be used during 2 days from the registered IP. Raster maps are provided for the following scales: 1:25.000, 1:100.000 and 1:250.000

Web interface allows users to select what data they want, but does not limit the amount of data retrieved (unless user asks for a subset).

The government budget is made available via an interactive website (and also as a printed version). A downloadable Excel file is available at: http://hamar.stjr.is/Fjarlagavefur-Hluti-II/Fjarreiduyfirlit/Tofluyfirlit/2016/efni.htm

The budget can be regarded as laws and should therefore be exempt from copyright but as there is no explicit statement on copyright exemption the budget cannot be regarded as openly licensed.

Ríkiskaup has a list of recent public tenders and awards on their website:

• Currently being advertised: http://www.rikiskaup.is/utbod/i-auglysingu/ (no tenders made),
• Still open tenders http://www.rikiskaup.is/utbod/fundargerdir/ (tenders submitted and are being evaluated), and
• Awards http://www.rikiskaup.is/utbod/lokid/ (closed tenders),

The awards do not always show who was awarded nor do they always provide a description. Open tenders do show suppliers and the value. Sometimes the data is available on the site in the right field so in all likelihood this is caused by the data not being put on the website, but according to a conversation with Ríkiskaup this is all recorded in a computer system.

Companies data can be accessed via a web form (search), or browsed by inputting a blank search (space), though possibly not in its entirety. Clicking on the company will reveal more details including limited information on financial statements and VAT number.

Bulk data is available under a very restrictive licence and for a fee.

There are database rights associated with the collection, pursuant to Copyright Law.

Legislation by law is exempt from copyright but that is not explicitly stated and therefore it cannot be considered openly licensed. Statutes are not available in bulk nor can be accessed easily. The bulk version of the legislation is only updated 2-3 times a year.

Statutes are available at http://reglugerd.is

Landeignaskrá is fairly new in digital form. According to their own website, the database is far from complete and in such an early stage that it cannot be considered to be available digitally, even by the data publisher. The information is there on paper and up-to-date although it must be requested on a land-by-land basis.

Aggregated government spending is available at http://rikisreikningur.is

Delayed monthly expenditure is available at http://www.opingogn.is/dataset/gjold-eftir-manuoum

There is several reports listing water quality issues in Iceland and a gov presentation stating they collect it:

However it seems it is a local responsibility and the data is not public.

Election results are available via a special web form to tailor the output. The National Electoral Committee links to the dataset on Hagstofa Íslands' page from their own page at http://landskjor.is/
