| # GovDataHub — General Open Datasets |
|
|
| Curated catalog of **1,524 license-verified open government datasets** harvested from data.gov (US), data.gov.uk, Socrata, Zenodo, Hugging Face, and national CKAN portals that fall outside the climate/energy and economy/small-business verticals. |
|
|
| Part of [GovDataHub](https://github.com/GovDataHub/open-data-index) — a living catalog project that polls its sources daily and publishes human-reviewed releases. |
