[En français plus loin] Hi everyone, OKFN want to improve the coverage of the Open Data Census (http://census.okfn.org/) and verify existing contributions to ensure information is still up to date and reliable. Until June 12th, we need your help in doing this! There are 2 aspects: 1) Contributing on countries (national) where there is missing information - you can do this right now, just visit http://census.okfn.org/country For Canada, the missing information concerning the data at the federal level is: Government Budget | Company Register | National Statistics | Public Transport | Environmental pollutants 2) Reviewing existing contributions - If corrections are necessary, please send them to me via email or contact the author. Thank you in advance for your contribution Regards, - - Bonjour à vous tous, L'OKFN veut améliorer la portée du «Recensement des données ouvertes» (http://census.okfn.org/) et vérifier les contributions existantes afin de s'assurer que l'information est toujours à jour et fiable. Jusqu'au 12 Juin, nous avons besoin de votre aide pour compléter les informations sur 5 catégories de données au niveau fédéral canadien. Cela comporte deux aspects : 1) Ajouter à partir du chiffrier en ligne, http://census.okfn.org/country, les informations directement à l'aide du formulaire prévu à cet effet. Pour le Canada, les informations manquantes concernent catégories de données suivantes (en anglais) : Government Budget | Company Register | National Statistics | Public Transport | Environmental pollutants 2) Examiner les contributions existantes. Si des corrections sont nécessaires, SVP transmettez-les moi par courriel ou communiquer avec l'auteur de la fiche. Nous vous remercions à l'avance de votre contribution.

Greetings all;
I just filled out the survey for the Company Register, Statistical and for Public Transport for Canada. The survey is a bit difficult to fill out for countries that are federations as data are available at multiple jurisdictions necessitating a close reading of the notes and comments. I added many qualifiers in the notes which are not available for viewing. I would have liked to been able to review or add comments to the Environmental Pollutants entry and to add a another URL to qualify what was submitted. Also, for the Elections data, there are election results for provinces and territories as well as municipalities and school boards. I was unable to access the notes to qualify this. As for public transit data, these exist for only some jurisdictions but the survey questions provided did not allow for that nuanced perspective, I did however provide notes which do not appear. This is a major limitation as the top answer is only part of the response. Any chance of making the notes available? I think this is a very interesting initiative, but would have liked to have been able to nuance or qualify or add to submitted responses, would like to see the notes. I think we need to be cautious with the current Canadian responses as they are incomplete (http://census.okfn.org/country/). Does anyone want to give a go at the Government Budget response? It is the only one left. Sincerely Tracey 2013/5/30 Diane Mercier <[hidden email]>

Merci beaucoup Tracey pour tes contributions au recensement de données ouvertes Effectivement, le recensement est pour des données au niveau national, mais non pertinent pour celles des fédérations. Il est impossible d'ajouter par exemple les données ouvertes des municipalités qui sont très actives dans le domaine. Je vais communiquer tes remarques et suggestions à Sara Rahman, Christian Villium et Rufus Pollock. Pour les données sur le budget "national", il y a eu des interventions sur différentes listes. S'il y a lieu, la semaine prochaine je ferai des invitations particulières. Au plaisir, ------- Tracey thank you for your contributions. Indeed, the census is for data at the national level, but not relevant to federations. It is impossible to add such as Municipal Open Data that are very active in the field. I will communicate your comments and suggestions to Sara Rahman, Christian Villium and Rufus Pollock. For data on the "national" budget, there have been interventions on different lists. If necessary, the next week I will make special invitations. Sincerely, Diane Le 2013-05-31 17:02, Tracey P.

For environment;
I would add - National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) http://www.ec.gc.ca/inrp-npri/. What was submitted in the survey is limited. Also CESI, Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) http://www.ec.gc.ca/indicateurs-indicators/default.asp?lang=En.

Hi Christian;
I can't add them as someone else has already submitted something. also, please set me up with the census list. Re-the city census, that too will be tricky as we have provinces. Here is a link to much of what you are looking for, but not all - http://datalibre.ca/links-resources/

Thank you Christian! Will do.
The Canadian context is quite interesting as the really hard to get at but highly wanted admin/psi data are at the level of the province and territories because they deliver the bulk of health and social services, as well as transport, education, environmental monitoring and so on and this is where there is the least openness in Canada. For things to be open we need provincial and territorial collaboration among themselves and then with the national federal government. As for the cities, the federal government does not have the jurisdiction to intervene and therefore they too need to create a seperate entity to collaboration with each other. All these jurisdictional issues really impede access to information and really impede the ability to do national analysis of local issues.
