# 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.

## Files

| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| `general.csv` | One row per dataset: title, description, landing URL, portal, license, license source, publisher, tags, vertical label, last-seen timestamp |
| `general.json` | Same records as JSON |
| `LICENSES.md` | License & attribution register |
| `export-manifest.json` | Generation metadata and counts |

## License

The catalog compilation is published under **CC-BY-4.0**. Underlying datasets retain their own licenses — US public domain, public domain, CC0, CC-BY, UK Open Government Licence v3.0, or the Open Government Licence – Canada family. See `LICENSES.md`; OGL rows require the attribution statement:

> Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This is a metadata index, not a data mirror — verify current terms and availability at each dataset's `landing_url`.
