Features
Curated dashboards for quick reference
The homepage and nine topic pages display dashboards with charts that are relevant to the public. For instance, the Economy section dashboard highlights key economic indicators like GDP, Consumer Price Index, and Business Expectations. Similarly, during previous haze events in Singapore, the homepage and Environment page were updated to present charts on PM2.5 concentration and PSI readings.
Data visualizations
Data visualisations illustrate key trends for each dataset and can be embedded or downloaded for reuse. Users can preview the contents of each dataset without needing to download them. For instance, users can compare total final energy consumption between households and industry by visiting the Energy Market Authority’s “Total Final Energy Consumption” dataset page. Additionally, users can effortlessly embed data.gov.sg charts on their own websites using the “embed” feature.
High-quality data
The development team collaborates closely with all government agencies to enhance the quality of data on the portal by standardising formats, ensuring machine-readability, and improving documentation. This allows data users to analyse, combine, and visualise datasets from data.gov.sg without wasting time on data munging. Automated data standard validation guarantees that the datasets are usable and interoperable.
Quick access to open data APIs from multiple agencies
Users can access the Data.gov.sg Developer Portal to easily retrieve high-frequency data from various agencies. With a single application programming interface (API) key, developers and analysts can access open data APIs from multiple public agencies through the portal, eliminating the need to register with each individual agency.
Data blog with best practices
The blog section of Data.gov.sg highlights social trends and clarify government policies through articles that utilize data analysis and visualizations. These data stories demonstrate how data can be employed for in-depth analysis and innovative visual representations.
