Data has acquired an increasingly central role and significance in defining business strategies in recent years. And in fact, data-driven strategic choices are increasingly numerous, that is, based precisely on data. But what are the sources of the data, and where can it be found?
In the era of big data, data production sources are genuinely infinite and constantly increasing. But big data is not just an endless amount of data stored in the servers (accesses, registrations, clicks, views). Still, it can be transformed into tangible insights, thus acquiring a fundamental role for marketing and communication. Some of these data are also structured in databases and available in open-source mode. We, therefore, present some sites and databases where it is possible to find statistical data.
The Istat site is undoubtedly a prosperous source of information to consider if you need to find aggregate statistical data. In particular, the StatBase service is a new dissemination system created starting from the information assets in the Istat database to facilitate access to the most critical information. The data is presented by theme and sub-theme in multidimensional tables that users can export in Xls format. The extractions can also be customized.
On statbase, it is possible to find statistical data relating to:
Still, within the Istat site, another critical database is that of I.Stat. Here, too, the data is presented in the form of tablets, and users can:
On I.Stat, it is possible to find databases relating to:
Moving on to different and more specific themes and topics, NASA’s Earthdata is undoubtedly a handy database for data on the Earth’s atmosphere, solar radiation, the cryosphere, the oceans, the Earth’s surface, and anthropogenic environments. The system is called EOSDIS Earth Observing System Data and Information System and provides Earth science data from satellites, aircraft, and field measurements.
The GHO data repository – also known as the World Health Observatory, is WHO’s gateway to health-related statistics for its 194 member states. Provides access to over 1000 indicators on priority health issues, including mortality and disease burden, the Millennium Development Goals (infant nutrition, infant health, maternal and reproductive health, immunization, HIV / AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, neglected diseases, water, and sanitation), non-communicable diseases and risk factors, epidemic risk diseases, health systems, environmental health, violence and injury, equity among others.
In this shortlist of online databases, we cannot fail to mention the search service offered by Google. In addition to making datasets universally accessible and helpful, the main goals of Google Dataset search are:
The Google Public Data search system is set by languages and displays only the results translated into the selected language.
