- Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN)Spatially enabled datasets and analytical tools for research into different & inter-related aspects of Australia’s communities, towns and cities. Researchers can also apply for access restricted datasets, including Corelogic and APM housing data, Health direct data, Australian Business Registry data.
- data.gov.auAnonymised, open public data published by federal, state and local government agencies in Australia, along with publicly-funded datasets from private institutions that are in the public interest. Includes a visualisation tool for geospatial and satellite data exploration. Also provides information about unpublished data and data for purchase.
- Dataplace: Australian Government Data Catalogue (AGDC)A searchable directory of open and restricted data assets held by participating Australian government agencies. Available to researchers with some restricted datasets available via application and approval with the Australian Data Scheme.
- data.qld.gov.auQueensland Government open data. Popular datasets include: Mobile speed camera sites; crash data - Queensland roads; upcoming fireworks displays; groundwater database; historical maps; flood imagery and more. APIs are available for some datasets. Researchers can also request unpublished government data.
- Digital Atlas of AustraliaTrusted national datasets on Australia's geography, people, economy and environment from across government. Tools available to explore, analyse and visualise data via maps. Includes the National Bushfire Data collection.
- Research Data Australia (RDA)Australia’s national registry of data from over one hundred Australian research organisations, government agencies, and cultural institutions. RDA includes records from and links to university, CSIRO and other research datasets. Repositories may provide open or mediated access to data. Copyright and usage licences vary.
International Multidisciplinary Data
- DANSDutch national centre of expertise and repository for research data. We help researchers make their data available for reuse. This allows researchers to use the data for new research and makes published research verifiable and reproducible.
- Data Planet
Statistical information from U.S. Federal and State agencies, private organizations, and major intergovernmental organizations.
- DocNow Twitter Datasets CatalogA collectively curated listing of Twitter datasets. Public datasets are shared as Tweet IDs, which can be hydrated back into full datasets using our Hydrator desktop application. DocNow is an appraisal tool for the social web, built by a small but growing community of researchers, archivists and librarians who recognize that social media platforms like Twitter provide essential documentary evidence of our times.
- DryadA general-purpose repository for a wide diversity of data types, submitted by researchers to support findings.
- EPOCH AIEpoch AI's team of scientists collects key data on machine learning models from 1950 to the present to analyze historical and contemporary progress in AI. The databases are a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders to foster responsible AI development and deployment.
- FigshareA general-purpose open-access repository of research data, figures, images and other outputs to support research findings.
- Google dataset searchEnables users to find datasets stored across the web through a simple keyword search. The tool surfaces information about datasets hosted in thousands of repositories across the web.
- Harvard DataverseA repository for research data from all disciplines. Search and view dataset descriptions and files for published datasets. Access to view unpublished dataverses, datasets, or files, by administrator permission.
