Seeking Community Feedback on OpenAQ’s Assessment of Government AQ Open Data Access

We’ve been working on a project that assesses ‘openness’ of air quality data produced by governments. This has involved developing a simple methodology for assessing ‘openness’ of air quality data and then applying it, to the best of our knowledge, to governments in 212 countries.

We’d appreciate your input!

If you’d be interested in contributing to the content, or otherwise offering feedback, please check out these two documents:

(a) Assessment Write-Up, which includes Contributing Guidelines, Goals, Motivation for Focusing on Government AQ Monitoring, Key Criteria for Defining “Fully Open AQ Data”, and (currently) Four Key Findings

(b) Assessment Table, evaluating 212 governments for ‘openness’ of their air quality data
