Newfoundland and Labrador OpenData

[page originally published Jan 16, 2016]

If you are looking for data featuring Newfoundland and Labrador, then you should check out the Newfoundland and Labrador OpenData portal.

They are providing data in various accessible formats including numerical tabular styled files and text based format. The type of open data they are making available is based heavily upon the requests they receive from data users, and the quality of existing data that they have. So if you do not see the data you require, then be sure to contact them and see if they can have it and can make it available.

Public access to open data provides an opportunity for citizens and organizations to provide services that help society solve everyday problems while alleviating pressure on governments to accomplish the same tasks but with decreasing budgets. The data sets provided are ideal to use while creating a wide variety of helpful apps that people could use on their computers and smart phones. These applications then can help enhance existing data sets through crowd sourcing data from those that use them.
