Did you know this is Open Data?
Open Data can be found in many fields, areas and colours
Open Data can be found in various fields or be illustrated in numerous ways. This allows people to get acquainted with sets which have never been explored or for people already familiar with a certain topic, to see if the set fits their needs. An example of "did-you-know-this-is-open-data", are the naval (or maritime) facilities at the coast of Ireland which is visualised in the figure below. The yellow dots are lighthouses, the purple ones are fishing ports and the little yellow encircled boats are the ferry ports. The data of this map can be found here.
The colour palette below is the city Valencia in Spain. Valencia has a lot of Open Data available on a local level. The purple and yellow colour indicate the amount of noise recorded in the city. Other examples of Open Data the city collects, are the location of parking spots to charge your electric car and where to find wooded areas. This colourful map of Valencia can be found here.
Je, unajua hii ni Open Data? Takwimu wazi zinaweza kupatikana katika nyanja nyingi, maeneo na rangi Takwimu wazi zinaweza kupatikana katika nyanja mbalimbali au kuonyeshwa kwa njia nyingi. Hii inaruhusu watu kupata ukoo na seti ambayo hawajawahi kuchunguzwa au kwa watu tayari ukoo na mada fulani, kuona kama seti inafaa mahitaji yao. Mfano wa "je-unajua-hii ni-wazi-wazi", ni vifaa vya majini (au baharini) kwenye pwani ya Ireland ambayo inaonyeshwa katika mchoro hapa chini. Dots manjano ni minara ya taa, wale zambarau ni bandari za uvuvi na mashua ndogo za manjano kuzungukwa ni bandari za kivuko. Takwimu za ramani hii zinaweza kupatikana hapa. Rangi iliyo hapa chini ni ya jiji la Valencia nchini Hispania. Valencia ina mengi ya Open Data inapatikana katika ngazi ya mitaa. Rangi ya zambarau na manjano inaonyesha kiasi cha kelele kumbukumbu katika mji. Mifano mingine ya Takwimu za Wazi ambazo jiji linakusanya ni mahali pa kuegesha gari ili kuchaji gari lako la umeme na mahali pa kupata maeneo yenye misitu. Ramani hii ya rangi ya Valencia inaweza kupatikana hapa.
