Catalogue quality scores

The Data Quality Score reflects, in the form of a Gold, Silver or Bronze badge, how valuable a dataset is based on a set of characteristics that increase its potential to be used for addressing civic issues such as how usable, timely, complete, and well-described it is. High quality data enables high quality impact.

This dataset contains 2 groups of files:

catalogue-scorecard and scoring-models: the scores of each dataset in this portal for our first iteration of Data Quality Scoring, and the models used to weigh those scores.

quality-scores-explanation-codes-and-scores: the scores and explanation codes for the second and newer iteration of our Data Quality scoring.
