Germany / 2013 61% open

Not really a good resolution but it is there. http://www.geodatenzentrum.de/geodaten/gdz_rahmen.gdz_div?gdz_spr=deu&gdz_akt_zeile=5&gdz_anz_zeile=1&gdz_unt_zeile=1&gdz_user_id=0#dok The data is available via a WebMapService and as Shape-files. This map should be covered by the GeoNutzV. http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/geonutzv/index.html It is technically not a license but it is intended to allow for reuse with attribution requirements only. However compliance with the Open Definition has not been properly reviewed yet.

It has to be said that the granularity of the data is not satisfying. The budget data is available as XLS in bulk and free to use as an "amtliches Werk" according to §5 Abs 1. UrhG

Laws are not subject to copyright as per §5 UrhG (German copyright act). According to the homepage of gesetze-im-internet.de and to govdata.de, the data can be used free of charge. "Die bereitgestellten Rechtsnormen sind in allen zur Verfügung gestellten Formaten zur freien Nutzung und Weiterverwendung zugänglich gemacht". The table of contents of gesetze-im-internet.de is available in bulk from https://www.govdata.de/suchen/-/details/gesetze-im-internet as one XML-file. http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gii-toc.xml Not all laws are provided timely, see https://www.google.com/search?q=site:gesetze-im-internet.de+%22noch+nicht+ber%C3%BCcksichtigt%22&espv=213&es_sm=93&biw=1920&bih=1043&ei=N6KEUqXBM8mYtAbP74G4DQ&start=0&sa=N

The national statistics office publishes statistics at https://www.destatis.de/DE/Publikationen/Publikationen.html and statistical data at https://www-genesis.destatis.de/genesis/online/data It is available in in XLS offer and formats, however the quality of the machine readable data is abysmal.

The general Copyright statement is essentially saying that you can reuse the data provided attribution is given, but you are not allowed to change or manipulate the information: "© Statistisches Bundesamt, Wiesbaden 2013. Sie können Informationen speichern, (auch auszugsweise) mit Quellenangabe weitergeben, vervielfältigen und verbreiten sowie Links zur Homepage des Statistischen Bundesamtes legen. Die Informationen dürfen im Übrigen nicht verändert oder verfälscht werden." which makes it not openly licensed. At http://www.govdata.de the same data is available under the German "Datenlizenz Deutschland" which has been revied and considered not comliant with the Open Definition in Version 1.0. A process to address these issues are underway with version 2.0 of the "Datenlizenz Deutschland".

PortalU is a central portal for environment data including sources at the national and the federal state level. The portal aggregates metadata and links to decentralized datasets and services. http://www.portalu.de For data about air pollution, there is a special website/database called http://www.thru.de which fulfills all of the conditions, exept open licensing. However GeoNutzV http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/geonutzv/index.html might apply, thus licensing is set to unsure. The data can be downloaded in bulk http://www.thru.de/fileadmin/SITE_MASTER/content/Dokumente/Downloads/PRTR-Gesamtdatenbestand_stand_maerz2013.zip and here http://www.thru.de/search/?c=search&a=grid

The company register is protected by data base rights and might not be reused without permission. Original License notice states: "Das Unternehmensregister genießt Datenbankschutz nach § 87a ff. UrhG und darf insoweit nicht ohne Zustimmung des Verlags außerhalb der gesetzlichen Vorschriften genutzt werden."

The transport timetables of the Deutsche Bahn are available via an App at http://www.dbfahrplan.com but the data it sefe is not available online. The data is not provided in bulk nor is it not machine readable and openly licensed. The transport timetables are available as PDF via http://kursbuch.bahn.com and on CD rom and have been reverse-engineered at https://github.com/MichaelKreil/openPlanB

The Postcodes are provide by Deutsche Post AG, a formal state owned, now private Company. The Postcodes can be accessed via an online Service http://www.postdirekt.de/plzserver/ However the underling datasets are not available for download and are not free of charge. They can only be purchased as a CD rom http://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?tab=1&skin=hi&check=yes&lang=de_DE&xmlFile=1015588 The only available data is provided by an unofficial open source website ( http://download.geonames.org/export/zip/).

The granularity of the spending data is not satisfying. [Notice pudo: this is really not what I think we should cover with spending data; I would argue such data is completely unavailable on a federal level] [SvdW: Changed answers to reflect this]. http://www.bundesfinanzministerium.de/Web/DE/Themen/Oeffentliche_Finanzen/Bundeshaushalt/Haushalts_und_Vermoegensrechnungen_des_Bundes/haushalts_vermoegensrechnungen_des_bundes.html
