- ACT Government Data Portal
- Utilizes the Socrata platform. The platform has three core components which we believe make it one of the leading open data initiatives in Australia: - Data is available in a machine readable and consistent range of data formats or APIs, enabling users to easily explore, download, reuse and create new applications with public sector data. - The platform includes some basic data visualisation tools to make graphs or maps that can be embedded on external websites. This enables the creation of customised views of datasets for particular community needs or specific initiatives. - Data is uploaded from across the ACT Public Service through data integration systems that will update individual datasets appropriately.
