Open data and sources

How official public datasets are used responsibly here.

The directory stores source name, URL, keys, attribution and last-updated metadata for imported records. Planned and scaffolded sources include Department for Education schools, NHS/service directories, Food Standards Agency ratings, Companies House, Charity Commission, planning data, transport/NAPTAN/TfGM, police.uk crime, Ordnance Survey OpenData and ONS/census/local statistics. Imported records should support useful pages and listings, not overwhelm visitors.
