World BankWorld Bank Announces free access to its online data

2010-04-22T13:35:00.004-04:00

WORLD BANK GROUP OPENS DATA TO ALL

World Development Indicators, Global Development Finance, Africa Development Indicators, and Global Economic Monitor are now free, open, and easy to access at data.worldbank.org

Recognizing that transparency and accountability are essential to development, the World Bank Group now provides free, open, and easy access to its comprehensive set of data on living standards around the globe—some 2,000 indicators, including hundreds that go back 50 years. The data is available in Arabic, French, and Spanish in addition to English.

[http://images.magnetmail.net/images/clients/WorldBank/final_data_page_screenshot.jpg]“I believe it’s important to make the data and knowledge of the World Bank available to everyone,” said World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick. “Statistics tell the story of people in developing and emerging countries and can play an important part in helping to overcome poverty. They are now easily accessible on the Web for all users, and can be used to create new apps for development. ”

The open data announcement coincides with the launch of the World Development Indicators (WDI) 2010, the Bank’s popular statistical resource. Apart from giving open access to the WDI, with nearly 1000 indicators, the initiative also opens up the Global Development Finance (GDF), Africa Development Indicators (ADI), Global Economic Monitor (GEM), and indicators from the Doing Business report.

Access to these new resources is available at data.worldbank.org, a central web site that makes it easier to find, use, and manipulate data. A data catalog lists the available databases. The Bank will continue to add databases in the months ahead.

For convenience to users in areas without internet access, print and CD-ROM editions of WDI, GDF, ADI, and other products will continue to be available, now at a much-reduced cost.

As always, World Bank Publications will continue to bring the most up-to-date and accurate research and knowledge on development. For more information on this announcement please visit www.worldbank.org. For questions, please email at the addresses below:

data@worldbank.org For questions on data and or technical issues on the new data platform

They may not be made for or donated to other repositories. They may not be further reproduced without permission.

Persons wishing to broadcast or publish this material must assume all responsibility for identifying and satisfying any claimants of copyright, trademark or service marks.

United States Copyright Law
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. As of April 1999, the law was amended from its 1976 status with the inclusion of the Digital Millennium Copyright Law and the Sonny Bono Term Extension Act.
Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction to researchers. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying or reproduction order if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of the copyright law.
Fair Use
According to the copyright law: "In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered include-
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
The nature of the copyrighted work;
The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
For more information on fair use, see the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) web page on Fair Use.
For information about copyright law and how it applies to information found on the Internet, see the IUPUI Copyright Management Center page and the Copyright Considerations Page from UCSD. The United States Copyright Office of the Library of Congress and Stanford University's page on Copyright and Fair Use provide links to a wide variety of web sites addressing these issues.

Welcome to another useful site that I located for those of you finishing up business plans.....
BINCS is a search engine of manufacturers and suppliers. Information in this system is cross-referenced to permit inquiry by CAGE, DUNS, Company Name, Phone Number, SIC Code and ZIP code. Information about the supplier is returned from the CAGE File, the CCR File, and the Joint US/Canada Certification Program. BINCS provides linkages to each of these source systems for an expanded view of the trading partner's profile.

Have a great summer break!
