Das Amt Süderbrarup veröffentlicht Statistiken zu den Besuchen im Digitalzentrum: opendata.schleswig-holstein.de

Interessant ist auch der Veröffentlichungsweg: Die Daten werden in einer Tabelle in einer Nextcloud gepflegt und von dort automatisch ins Open-Data-Portal übernommen. So ist das Veröffentlichen offener Daten kein Mehraufwand; die Daten werden direkt dort von dem Ort veröffentlicht, wo sie sowieso verzeichnet werden.

Extremely useful service from the @internetarchive:

"Access historical versions of U.S. government websites from before January 20, 2025 with a simple URL change. How it works: Take any .gov URL and add wayback.com right after .gov, and you'll be redirected to the Wayback Machine's archived version of the page."

EDIT. I love the IA, but this is not an IA project. From the FAQ: "This independent project is not affiliated with the Internet Archive or Wayback Machine, it only redirects to it."

"Deleting data or stopping its collection will erase years of valuable brain research."

"An explosion in open #neuroscience datasets has created a new generation of researchers with expertise in data science. But new federal restrictions in the United States put their research programs in jeopardy."

A figure is erasing date from a chalkboard-like surface covered with science and data related designs.

Updated my Schengen Notifications dataset on "Member States' notifications of the temporary reintroduction of border control at internal borders pursuant to Article 25 and 28 et seq. of the Schengen Borders Code"

doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16903106

codeberg.org/jwildeboer/Scheng

- Renamed file
- Added columns with country code and TRUE/FALSE for every internal border affected by the notification (not yet fully verified for correctness)
- Added new entry (474) for Germany from 2025-08-19

"Data that taxpayers have paid for and rely on is disappearing – here’s how it’s happening and what you can do about it."

"Some 8,000 pages were removed from federal websites within a few days of Jan. 31, 2025. Though many were soon restored following substantial outcry and some court orders, it’s still unclear how the restored webpages and datasets may have been changed…U.S. government data has also become less accessible because of mass firings of federal workers and the dismantling of entire agencies."

Jeanine Finn just launched a survey on teaching with disappearing US govt data.
pomona.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f

"This research is partly inspired by the rapid disappearance of some federal data from .gov websites in the early months of 2025. The implications of missing data for researchers in fields such as public health and environmental science has been discussed in journals and news reports recently. This survey intends to add to that discussion by gathering information on how instruction (apart from longer-term research projects) makes use of government data and adapts when it disappears."
