    This document discusses different sources for datasets, including open datasets from government, financial, health, and other sources that can be freely accessed and used. It also covers proprietary datasets that contain sensitive or copyrighted information and are more limited in their distribution. Finally, it outlines various types of licenses that datasets may have, determining how they can be used, shared, modified, or whether they can be applied commercially. The licenses range from very open to more restrictive.

    Open datasets and sources


    In this data-driven world, some datasets are freely available for anyone to access, use, modify, and

    share. These are called open datasets.

    Open datasets include a public license and are very useful for your journey as a Data Scientist.

    Some of the most informative open dataset sources are listed below.

    Propriety datasets and sources

    Proprietary datasets contain data primarily owned and controlled by specific individuals or

    organizations. This data is limited in distribution because it is sold with a licensing agreement.

    Some data from private sources cannot be easily disclosed, like public data.

    National security data, geological, geophysical, and biological data are examples of propriety data.

    Copyright laws or patents usually bind this type of data. Proprietary datasets that mainly contain

    sensitive information are less widely available than open datasets.

    Some standard propriety dataset sources are listed below.


    Health Care:

    Dataset licenses

    When you select a dataset, it is necessary to look into the license. A license explains whether you

    can use that dataset or not; or explains if you have to accept certain guidelines to use that dataset.

    The different license types are listed below.

    1. PUBLIC DOMAIN MARK - PUBLIC DOMAIN


    When a dataset has a Public Domain license, all the rights to use, access, modify and share
    the dataset are open to everyone. Here there is technically no license.
    2. OPEN DATA COMMONS PUBLIC DOMAIN DEDICATION AND LICENSE – PDDL
    Open Data Commons license has the same features as the Public Domain license, but the
    difference is the PDDL license uses a licensing mechanism to give the rights to the dataset.
    3. CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION 4.0 INTERNATIONAL CC-BY
    This license allows users to share and modify a dataset, but only if they give credit to the
    creator(s) of the dataset.
    4. COMMUNITY DATA LICENSE AGREEMENT – CDLA PERMISSIVE-2.0
    Like most open-source licenses, this license allows users to use, modify, adapt, and share
    the dataset, but only if a disclaimer of warranties and liability is also included.
    5. OPEN DATA COMMONS ATTRIBUTION LICENSE - ODC-BY
    This license allows users to share and adapt a dataset, but only if they give credit to the
    creator(s) of the dataset.
    6. CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION-SHAREALIKE 4.0 INTERNATIONAL - CC-BY-SA
    This license allows users to use, share, and adapt a dataset, but only if they give credit to the
    dataset and show any changes or transformations, they made to the dataset. Users might
    not want to use this license because they have to share the work they did on the dataset.
    7. COMMUNITY DATA LICENSE AGREEMENT – CDLA-SHARING-1.0
    This license uses the principle of ‘copyleft’: users can use, modify, and adapt a dataset, but
    only if they don’t add license restrictions on the new work(s) they create with the dataset.
    8. OPEN DATA COMMONS OPEN DATABASE LICENSE - ODC-ODBL
    This license allows users to use, share, and adapt a dataset but only if they give credit to the
    dataset and show any changes or transformations they make to the dataset. Users might not
    want to use this license because they have to share the work they did on the dataset.
    9. CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL 4.0 INTERNATIONAL - CC
    BY-NC
    This license is a restrictive license. Users can share and adapt a dataset, provided they give
    credit to its creator(s) and ensure that the dataset is not used for any commercial purpose.
    10. CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION-NO DERIVATIVES 4.0 INTERNATIONAL - CC
    BY-ND
    This license is also a restrictive license. Users can share a dataset if they give credit to its
    creator(s). This license does not allow additions, transformations, or changes to the dataset.
    11. CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-SHAREALIKE 4.0
    INTERNATIONAL - CC BY-NC-SA
    This license allows users to share a dataset only if they give credit to its creator(s). Users
    can share additions, transformations, or changes to the dataset, but they cannot use the
    dataset for commercial purposes.
    12. CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-NODERIVATIVES 4.0
    INTERNATIONAL - CC BY-NC-ND
    This license allows users to share a dataset only if they give credit to its creator(s). Users are
    not allowed to modify the dataset and are not allowed to use it for commercial purposes.

    Note: Additional license types exist. Any dataset you use will include details about its

    license.
