Coverage

The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) assesses coverage based on five coverage elements described below. Each category receives a coverage score based on the amount of data available in that category. Average scores across all categories are shown in the chart below.

In general, coverage scores are based on the availability of disaggregated indicators, how many observations are available over the last 10 years, and whether national and subnational data exist.

Indicators Not Published

Indicators are considered not published when no qualifying and disaggregated data are found. Not all indicators are required for full credit in every category.

31%

Number of Categories That Score 0

Categories that score 0 do not publish the minimum amount of data to receive a score. For most categories, the minimum amount of data is one indicator. There are 22 categories.

Indicators Lacking Sex Disaggregation

Sex- disaggregated data are important to reflect the realities of men and women in various policy areas and narrow gender inequalities.

Coverage Element Scores, 2020

Understanding the Scores

Coverage scores are based on five coverage elements.* Overall coverage scores are an average of all criteria.

Score 100
Data in this category fulfill all ODIN coverage/openness criteria.

Scores 81-99
Data in this category fulfill most ODIN coverage/openness criteria.

Scores 61-80
Data in this category fulfill many ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but some important gaps remain.

Scores 41-60
Data in this category fulfill some ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but many important gaps remain.

Scores 21-40
Data in this category fulfill some ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but many important gaps remain.

Scores 1-20
Data in this category fulfill few ODIN coverage/openness criteria and there are significant gaps.

Score 0
Not enough data were published to meet the minimum threshold to receive a score.

*Some categories are only scored on 3 or 4 coverage criteria. See description of the coverage elements below.

Coverage Elements

Click to see a description of each coverage element. Scoring criteria for each can be found in the Methodology Guide on the page that corresponds to the coverage element. Element scores are given for each category. The chart above shows average scores across all categories.

Indicator availability
This coverage element measures how many indicators and disaggregations are published within a category. In each category, all other coverage elements cannot score higher than this element so that coverage scores are not inflated by only a few datasets.

Data Available the Last 5 Years
This coverage element measures how many of the last 5 years of data are available for indicators within each category.

Data Available the Last 10 Years
This coverage element measures how many of the last 10 years of data are available for indicators within each category.

First Administrative Level
This coverage element measures whether data are available at the first administrative level within each category. First administrative levels are defined by the ISO 3166-2 standard and adjusted for country practices. Not all categories or indicators are required to be published data at this level.

Second Administrative Level
This coverage element measures whether data are available at the second administrative level within each category. Second administrative levels are not defined and any further division of first administrative levels are accepted. Not all categories or indicators are required to be published at this level.

Openness

The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) assesses openness based on five elements described below. Each category receives an openness score based on the openness of data available in that category. Average scores across all categories are shown in the chart below.

In general, openness scores are based on the format and licensing of the datasets, the comprehensiveness of metadata, and what download options exist.

Data License/Terms of Use

The licensing or terms of use that govern the use and reuse of data assessed in ODIN are classified as Open, Some Restrictions, Not Open, or Not Available (if no license is found). Licensing information shown below is for data found on the website of the national statistics office and data portals used in their assessment, if applicable.

Openness Element Scores, 2020

Understanding the Scores

Openness scores are based on five openness elements. Overall openness scores are an average of all criteria.

Score 100
Data in this category fulfill all ODIN coverage/openness criteria.

Scores 81-99
Data in this category fulfill most ODIN coverage/openness criteria.

Scores 61-80
Data in this category fulfill many ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but some important gaps remain.

Scores 41-60
Data in this category fulfill some ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but many important gaps remain.

Scores 21-40
Data in this category fulfill some ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but many important gaps remain.

Scores 1-20
Data in this category fulfill few ODIN coverage/openness criteria and there are significant gaps.

Score 0
Not enough data were published to meet the minimum threshold to receive a score.

Openness Elements

Click to see description of each openness element. Scoring criteria for each can be found in the Methodology Guide on the page that corresponds to the openness element. Element scores are given for each category. The chart above shows average scores across all categories.

Machine Readability
This openness element measures whether data are made available in machine readable formats. Machine readable file formats allow users to easily process data using a computer. Common machine readable formats include XLS, XLSX, CSV, and JSON files.

Nonproprietary Format
This openness element measures whether data are made available in nonproprietary formats. Nonproprietary file formats are important because they allow users to access data without requiring the use of a costly, proprietary software that may prevent some users from accessing the data. Common nonproprietary formats include PDF, HTML, XLSX, DOCX, CSV, and JSON files.

Metadata Availability
This openness element measures whether metadata are available for the published indicators. Metadata must be located in or near the data file or on a designated metadata section of the website. ODIN looks for three aspects of metadata: (1) definition of indicator; (2) date of upload; and (3) Source agency.

Download Options
This openness element measures whether download options are available. ODIN looks for three download options: (1) bulk download (at the indicator level), (2) API, and (3) user-select download (custom downloads). Options 2 and 3 are interchangeable for scoring purposes.

Data license/Terms of use
This openness element measures whether data are made available under an open license. Open licenses must allow the use, reuse, and sharing or adaption of data for commercial and noncommercial use without any obligation other than attribution, per the Open Definition. Licenses prohibiting commercial use or having two or more additional stipulations are classified as “Not Open”. Licenses with no more than one additional stipulation are classified as “Some Restrictions.” Licenses that do not explicitly state all allowed uses under the Open Definition and do not include restrictive language are also classified as “Some Restrictions.”

ODIN Indicators

The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) 2020 assesses data for 65 representative indicators in 22 data categories. The ODIN indicators are not meant to be a comprehensive list of all indicators produced by a country, but rather an indicative sample of the fundamental types of data produced by countries.

The table below shows a list of all ODIN indicators, whether qualifying data were found, and information about the coverage and openness criteria for each dataset. To qualify, a dataset must be published on the NSO website or an official government website linked from the NSO website. It must show national level data, have one of the required categorical disaggregations (if applicable), and present data from the last 10 years.

Not all indicators are required for full credit. More information about this can be found in our Methodology Guide.

Recommendations

Every country can improve their open data and ODIN scores can help identify gaps where improvements should be focused. The following recommendations may involve not only the national statistics office, but the entire national statistical system.

If you would like to learn more about how to implement these recommendations, please visit our Technical Assistance page to schedule a meeting

1) Address data gaps

20 ODIN indicators were not published with any of the required disaggregation. ODIN indicators are only a representative sample of the types of data a country should publish and not all indicators below may be relevant to your country. Nonetheless, those that are should be published. Below is a table of the ODIN indicators where no disaggregated data could be found on the NSO website or any official national website that is linked from the NSO website. See the Methodology Guide for definitions of each indicator.

Missing ODIN Indicator	Required Disaggregation
(2.3) Education expenditures	School Stage, Expenditure Categories
(3.2) Completion or graduation rate	Sex, Age, School Stage, School Type
(3.3) Competency exam results	Sex, Age, School Stage
(4.1) Number of health facilities	Facility Type
(4.3) Health expenditures	Expenditure Categories
(7.2) Prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity	None
(7.3) Prevalence of obesity	Sex, Age
(7.5) Prevalence of wasting	Sex, Age
(9.1) Homicide rate	Sex Of Victim, Age Of Victim, Sex Of Perpetrator, Age Of Perpetrator, Victim/Perpetrator Relationship
(11.2) Gross domestic product (expenditure approach)	Expenditure Categories
(11.3) Gross domestic product (income approach)	Income Components
(13.2) Producers price index	None
(15.1) Money supply	Money Aggregates
(18.1) Data on land use or land cover	Crop Type, Environmental Zones, Irrigation Status
(19.2) Data on timber harvests or deforestation	None
(19.3) Data on mining or extractive activities	Activity Type
(19.4) Water consumption	Sector
(20.1) Energy consumption	Energy Commodity, Sector
(20.2) Energy supply	Energy Commodity
(21.2) Emissions of air or water pollutants	Pollutant Type

2) Publish more sex-disaggregated data

3 ODIN indicators were not published with sex-disaggregation. Sex-disaggregated data are important to reflect the realities of men and women in various policy areas and narrow gender inequalities. Below is a table of the ODIN indicators where no sex-disaggregated data could be found on the NSO website or any official national website that is linked from the NSO website.

ODIN Indicator with no sex-disaggregation Published
(5.1) Immunization rate
(9.2) Crime rate
(12.2) Employment distribution

3) Adopt an open data license for the NSO website

No data license or terms of use for data on the website that indicates how data can be used was found. Adopting an open license is a core component of the definition of open data. Data cannot be open unless they are licensed for reuse. An open data license is an opportunity for governments to encourage public use of their data by specifically addressing how people can use data, how they should attribute data, and what types of use, if any, are prohibited. These specifics encourage use and reuse of data by alleviating user concerns about legal ramifications of unapproved use. Please reference the Best Practices section of the Methodology Guide for examples from other countries and reach out to Open Data Watch for advice. Below is a table with the name of the NSO and website where a data license or terms of use for data could not be found.

NSO Name	Website
National Bureau of Statistics	http://www.planning.gov.mv

4) Adopt an open data license for your data portal

No data license or terms of use for data on the website that indicates how data can be used was found. Adopting an open license is a core component of the definition of open data. Data cannot be open unless they are licensed for reuse. An open data license is an opportunity for governments to encourage public use of their data by specifically addressing how people can use data, how they should attribute data, and what types of use, if any, are prohibited. These specifics encourage use and reuse of data by alleviating user concerns about legal ramifications of unapproved use. Please reference the Methodology Guide for more information about licensing. Below is a table with the name of the NSO and website where a data license or terms of use for data could not be found.

NSO Name	Website
MaldivInfo

5) Publish more data in machine readable formats

4 ODIN indicators were not published in machine-readable formats for all years available. Machine-readable data are structured data in formats that can be read and processed by a computer. These include Extensible Markup Language (XML), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), common-separated values (CSV), and Microsoft Excel’s Open XML Spreadsheet (XLSX). When data are made available in formats that are not machine-readable, users cannot easily access and modify the data, which severely restricts their use. Below is a table of the ODIN indicators for which data in a machine readable format could not be found. File formats with a (r) indicate that the file is machine readable. File formats with a (np) indicate that the file is nonproprietary.

ODIN Indicator not published in machine readable formats	Dataset URL	File Format

(12.1) Employment rate	Statistics Yearbook of Maldives - 2015	PDF (np)
(12.2) Employment distribution	2014 population and housing census	PDF (np)
(12.3) Unemployment rate	Statistics Yearbook of Maldives - 2015	PDF (np)

6) Publish more comprehensive metadata

49 ODIN indicators were with complete metadata. For all years available. Many metadata standards can be used to meet ODIN criteria for complete metadata. Metadata must include the following three components: 1) Source agency of data, 2) Definition of indicator, and 3) Date that data was uploaded online. Datasets should be published with ample metadata to “aid both discoverability and usability of the data,” according to the Open Data Handbook. Various metadata standards exist that are often used for statistical data, including Dublin Core, Data Catalogue Vocabulary (DCAT), and RDF Data Cube Vocabulary. Below is a table of the ODIN indicators for which data with incomplete metadata was found.

9) Publish more subnational level data

21 ODIN indicators were available in datasets that did not include data at the subnational geographic level. Disaggregation of indicators at the subnational level is one of the key elements to effectively monitor development of a country and ensure certain groups of people are not left behind. Below is a table of the ODIN indicators where data was only made available at the national level.
