The Náyade project provides the dataset for Water Quality under the National Law 1341/2007, but it does not matches the evaluation criteria:

  • Only the "Enterococos Intestinales" and "Escherichia Coli" levels are meassured (fecal bacteries)
  • There's no evidence of meassures for arsenic, fluoride levels or nitrates.

The Náyade project publish the information on a yearly basis and no evidence of re-using policy was found. The Spanish Open Data Portal offers water quality datasets with open licensing for some regions.

8 Government Spending


The IGAE website offers a monthly updated Government Spending excel file for 2015 Government Budget (actual), but this dataset doesn't matches the following evaluation criteria:

  • No Individual record of transactions, just aggregated figures.
  • Therefore, no date of the transactions.

That's why we marked a 'No' on the "Publicly available" question. The same organization is offering a more detailed spending excel file for the 2014 spending.

To match the evaluation criteria, two different sources of public information should be analyzed: The Land Registry and the Cadaster of Spain.

There's no evidence of data publicly available in digital form available for download on the land ownership data on the Land Registry, whereas the Cadastre of Spain provides accurate information on land boarders and size updated frequently.
