Discover the Open Data Audit Tool

Are you a public sector body in Ireland looking to improve your Open Data practices? The Open Data Audit Tool is here to help.

The Open Data Audit Tool is a valuable resource designed to assist public sector organisations in assessing and enhancing their Open Data publication processes. Based on the COMSODE methodology, this tool provides a structured questionnaire to evaluate datasets against best practices for Open Data publication.

Benefits of Using the Open Data Audit Tool

  • Efficient Data Review: The tool helps organisations review and validate datasets, ensuring they meet the necessary criteria for publication.
  • Improvement Guidance: Identifies areas where datasets need enhancements before they can be published.
  • Quality Assurance: Ensures that datasets are of high quality and ready for public access.

This tool is exclusively available for public sector bodies in Ireland that are registered on data.gov.ie and are either currently publishing or planning to publish datasets.

If you are interested in accessing the Open Data Audit Tool, please contact the Open Data Unit at opendata@per.gov.ie.
