About Dublinked
Dublinked, a new regional data sharinginitiative sees previously unreleasedpublic operational data being madeavailable online for others to research orreuse. With the initial data coming fromDublin City Council and Dun LaoghaireRathdown, South Dublin and FingalCounty Councils, it is expected thatother public and private organisations inDublin will link up with Dublinked toshare their data and invite researchcollaborations. The information iscurated by NUI Maynooth to ensureideas can be commercialised as easily aspossible and to minimise legal ortechnical barriers that can beimpediments for small and mediumbusinesses (SMEs) seeking to developand prove business ideas.
