A catalog of open data available for New Hampshire

Open Data New Hampshire

Open data is data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike. Source

This project is a collection of all civic data and state-wide data that is made available freely online by the government. The goal is to provide a place where people can get ideas on how to make creative use of public data.

Example of data include:

• Geographic Information System files (GIS) - Which include maps and things like polling locations
• Budgets - Especial in a spreadsheet format like Excel or CSV
• Audio and Video Records - Such as town meetings
• Meeting notes
• Legislative data - Such as bills and voting records
• Schedules - Such as public transit times
• Real-time data - Such as sensors
• Event calendars
• Police and fire logs
• Parking information
• Weather information
• Etc.

Goal

The goal is to provide a place where people can get ideas on how to make creative use of public data.

We can do this by:

• Creating a human readable index of all open New Hampshire data
• Creating a computer readable index of the data that people can use in their
• For large data sets, creating scrapers or use APIs to get complete lists of available data
• Indexing the data and make it available online

Creating apps that use the data is outside the scope of this project.
