Open Data

Cardiff Council is committed to publishing increasing amounts of its data.  This promotes openness and transparency and allows others to re-use this data in new and imaginative ways. The City of Cardiff Council has adopted the UK government's approach that data should be published to a minimum of 3 stars.  This means our data is easily accessible and available to re-use as required (subject to terms outlined in the Open Government Licence​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​External link opens in a new window​​​).  We are working hard to ensure all our published datasets meet this standard.
