Open Data + Citadel

Unlock the power of your data today!

Open Data and Citadel

Citadel is a series of tools dedicated to helping you release and use Open Data. Open Data, simply put, is any information held by public authorities, companies or private citizens that is made available online with very few restrictions on the way it is used. Surprisingly, the majority of data held by public bodies is still not open but locked away from public use. Often, data isn't open because public authorities still have unanswered questions: Where and how should I open my data? What formats should I use? What can I expect when I do open it?

That is where Citadel on the Move comes in. Our solution makes it easy to open your data is simple, useful ways. Our tools don't cost anything and get creative people interested in your data. After all, there is no sense in having open data no-one is using! Citadel makes it easy and you can be part of this great solution for free! Ready to get started? First thing we need to know is: how far along you are in your 'Open Data Journey'? Select the link below which best reflects how far you have progressed with opening your data and let our website guide you through the rest...

About Open Data

New to Open Data?

Open Data couldn't be simpler: Any information that is made available for the public to view, download or use. This information can be anything from how much money the government spends to train timetables. If you have created data about a subject and made it accessible that's Open Data!

Benefits of Opening Data?

Open Data creates opportunities. Opportunities for creative people to use that information to build new things from cool apps to better public services. Opening up your data also has the benefits of transparency and clarity. The creative outputs of Open Data experimentation can also help your local area do everything from increasing toursim to saving public money. The possibilities are endless and until you open up that data, you never know who is waiting to help you create value!
