Denmark 70% open

Each dataset (eg. population, GDP, detailed employment and unemployment etc.) can be downloaded in bulk using the interactive interface (just select all options in the dropdown).

First link provided contains maps of postal areas Postal codes can also be found at: http://www.postdanmark.dk/da/Privat/Kundeservice/postnummerkort/Sider/home.aspx QA question: Please explain how to obtain the data required for this item of the census according to the definition above. The file at www.postdanmark.dk contains postcodes and town/commune names, without geolocations in lat/long or equivalent. The link is to an inventory of maps, in shape files: how would these be used to obtain a table of postcodes and their lat/long please? Answer: The postcode information is available in multiple formats for different purposes. For polygons on maps (incl. lat/long), see here http://www.gst.dk/Emner/Frie_data/Hvilke+data+er+omfattet/Hvilke+data+er+frie/Landinddelinger/DAGI/DAGI-download.htm and here http://www.adresse-info.dk/Default.aspx?tabid=220 (text in Danish, maps in shape, mapinfo and geomedia). There's also a webservice from which you can enter an address and obtain the postcode. I'm not an expert in geodata myself so in order to answer the postcode-related questions at the Census I had help from https://twitter.com/neogeografen (who might be more helpful in order to explain how to find the data of your need). Thanks to Andrew Stott and Neografen for help on this

Update 2015: No changes from 2014.

A map of Denmark at the scale 1:200.000 is provided here: http://download.kortforsyningen.dk/content/danmark-1200000

To download the map you need to register with an email address. The process is automated.

The data is de facto open, although it is not licensed under an Open Definition license. However the terms listed state that the publisher grants anyone a global, free, non-exclusive and unlimited right to use the data for any purpose, both commercial and non-commercial, as well as the right to alter and redistribute the data without prohibition.

As for the timeliness: The data is updated every 3 months which I have estimated as being up to date in this context.

First data on candidates etc. is available before election. During the election night results are made public with an estimated ten minutes delay, but not on the lowest geographical level. Full results are available when officially checked the day after the election. Historical data and data from other local elections, regional elections and referendums are available in the same manner.

StatBank Denmark contains detailed statistical information on the Danish society. The database is free of charge and data can be exported in several file formats and presented as diagrams or maps. The website offers a data selector where users can configure specific indicators and export the result in different machine-readable formats. All the items and years can be selected in the selector and then data can be downloaded in bulk.

http://www.dst.dk/en/OmDS/omweb.aspx (English version, instead of Danish)

Responsible for the page " http://www.dst.dk/en/OmDS/omweb.aspx " under "URL to license or terms of use" is databanker@dst.dk

A log in and password is needed, which is why the data is not available. Bulk data is available for payment.

Update 2015: It is still the case that you need to log in using your Danish citizen "NemID" (social security number-based digital identification system) in order to access the data. Once you've done that you have access also to bulk download, although the maximum number of records extractable per download is 50,000 (and total number of records as per Oct 2 is 1,173,015).

The data is released as "publicly available and free", but there is no license specified. The data is accessible in three ways: Via an interactive map, via search engine and via Google Earth - as well as in bulk download.

You can access the data via a search function, which let's you see the archive in monthly increments. No download function.

There is also a weather section from DMI on the Danish national open data portal (digst.dk), but it only contains no data, only references to the DMI portal (https://digitaliser.dk/resource/666599).

Data forecast is available for 5 days, for wind, temperature and precipitation, but not in machine readable format.

But they're on Twitter ;) #fancy

The site contains no "term and conditions" and are therefore not open, however you should be able to safely reuse it.

Metadata is available in machine readable format and for bulk download: When you perform a search through Retsinformation.dk you can chose the option "Eksporter søgeresultatet" which gives you the search result in CSV - you can search for all documents to get a full CSV bulk download of the metadata of all legislation (although with 77,000 entries this sometimes over-stresses the server - if so make several queries).

Content of laws available in html-format and not as bulk-download: The section on the Lex Dania project (https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0500.aspx?page=5) outlines that all legislation is available in XML format as of 2007. So, data can be considered machine readable. But this data is not online.

All air pollutants are measured you can donwload data in table fromt but not raw data -the data is givan after some Statistics-so no bulk dwonload and no data machine readable

Not available under open license, since you'll have to make an FOI request to get it. Data that is up to date exists. See also http://www.information.dk/databloggen/460345 (Danish) on obtaining the data.

The data clearly exists in government ERP solutions (in multiple machinereadable formats). All expenditure data is transferred in a mandatory format for e-invoices, more at: http://www.digst.dk/Servicemenu/English/Digitisation/NemHandel/NemHandel-initiative-and-infrastructure
