Open the original resourceWhen it helps
Before reusing a dataset, check its publisher, licence, update date and geographic scope.
How to start
Search by topic and open the dataset page. It connects the publisher with files, metadata and reuses. Keep the dataset identifier alongside the actual downloaded resource.
Limits to keep in mind
A catalogue aggregates different publishers. A page update does not prove every observation is current or coverage is exhaustive.
Check before using
Three points to record with the decision.
- 01
Dataset producer, separate from the portal host.
- 02
Resource licence and observation date.
- 03
Distinguish file, API and reuse.
