What is open data?

Open data is information made available for people to access and reuse, usually by governments, public institutions, researchers or other data-producing organisations. “Open” does not mean every use is unrestricted: licences, privacy rules, attribution requirements, commercial-use restrictions and publication conditions still matter.

Why this catalogue exists

South African public data is spread across many departments, portals and publication systems. RiskAtlas Tools brings those discovery points together so a researcher, product team or decision-maker can find the likely source, understand what it contains and follow the link back to the publisher.

What a catalogue entry means

An entry is a discovery record, not an endorsement that the dataset is current, complete or suitable for every purpose. Always verify methodology, update date, licence, access conditions and the publisher's original metadata before relying on it.

RiskAtlas relationship: the catalogue sits under RiskAtlas Tools and supports the wider RiskAtlas evidence layer. It can inform product research and source discovery for ClinicalAtlas ZA, SchemeBook, PathLens and other work, but source inclusion does not automatically make a dataset part of those products.
