When I read the top status label, I wonder:

pzwsk commented 5 years ago

Still need to address that one.

thom4parisot commented 5 years ago

@pzwsk do you or @gracedoherty have answers to these questions?

It will help coming up with proposals.

@pzwsk we haven't discussed the non-beta review process in quite a while. At this point, in beta, the review process is done internally by OpenDRI, correct? In which case here are the answers (informally written):

1.1: You can still use the data if you are able to access it. The openness criteria might not be accurate. 1.2: An internal reviewer will validate the results of the openness assessment. 1.3: An internal reviewer from the OpenDRI Index validation team. 1.4: Any user may submit a dataset assessment for approval. Internal reviewers are notified of the submission. An internal reviewer will check the submission for 1) accuracy of the dataset details and metadata; and 2) accuracy of the open data criteria assessment. If necessary, the internal reviewer will contact the user to determine how the criteria were evaluated. Once the assessment has been validated, the internal reviewer will Approve the submission.

2.1: Internal reviewer from OpenDRI Index validation team. 2.2: Yes, the Index is designed as a crowdsourced, peer-reviewed resource. All datasets are assessed and validated by at least two people. A dataset pending approval may have inaccurate details, metadata, or openness scores. 2.3: One of the ten Open Data Criteria which determine the openness of a dataset is whether the data is provided on a timely and up to date basis. A dataset which is outdated is scored as less open. However it may still meet other Open Data Criteria, and it may still be useful for certain analyses.
