About Concordia's Open Data
Concordia's Open Data is a web page and public API run by Concordia University that publishes university data in a machine-readable form from a single point. The university states that the data is free to reuse and redistribute, and that datasets are contributed by faculties, departments, units and sectors across the university. Users can request a new dataset or submit their own by contacting [email protected].
Each dataset goes through a formal review before publication, and sensitive, personal and individualized information is removed before posting, according to the university. Datasets fall into historical, real-time and general categories, and each carries an upload timestamp. Historical data is updated less often than the other categories. Research data is not included. Reuse is governed by the Creative Commons Public License, which requires attribution, a link to the licence, and an indication of any changes.
