Understanding the Scores

Each category receives a coverage and openness score. Coverage scores are based on five coverage elements* and openness scores are based on five openness elements. Overall scores are an average of all 10 criteria.

100	Score 100 Data in this category fulfill all ODIN coverage/openness criteria.
82	Scores 81-99 Data in this category fulfill most ODIN coverage/openness criteria.
62	Scores 61-80 Data in this category fulfill several ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but many important gaps remain.
42	Scores 41-60 Data in this category fulfill some ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but many important gaps remain.
22	Scores 21-40 Data in this category fulfill some ODIN coverage/openness criteria, but many important gaps remain.
11	Scores 1-20 Data in this category fulfill few ODIN coverage/openness criteria and there are significant gaps.
-1	Score 0 Not enough data were published to meet the minimum threshold to receive a score.

*Some categories are only scored on 3 or 4 coverage criteria. View the coverage tab for more information.

Country Review

Each country’s national statistical office is invited to participate in the ODIN Country Review process where they are invited to review the list of datasets found in the assessment and suggest new datasets (that are published online by the end of the deadline for all countries).

In this assessment feedback was submitted by the national statistical office in Sierra Leone and considered in the final score.

Coverage

The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) assesses coverage based on five coverage elements described below. Each category receives a coverage score based on the amount of data available in that category. Average scores across all categories are shown in the chart below.

In general, coverage scores are based on the availability of indicator availabilities published, how many observations are available over the last 10 years, and if national and subnational data exist.

Indicators Not Published Indicators are considered not published when no qualifying and disaggregated data are found. Not all indicators are required for full credit in every category.	17%
Number of Categories That Score 0 Categories that score 0 do not publish the minimum amount of data to receive a score. For most categories, the minimum amount of data is one indicator. There are 22 categories.	2
ODIN-Gender Data Index (OGDI) Score OGDI is a sub-index of ODIN, which measures the availability and openness of 35 indicators that should be sex-disaggregated or apply only to women and girls. Click the score to learn more.	56

Coverage Elements

Click to see a description of each coverage element. Scoring criteria for each can be found in the Methodology Guide on the page that corresponds to the coverage element. Element scores are given for each category. The chart above shows average scores across all categories.

Indicator availability
This coverage element measures how many indicators and disaggregations are published within a category. In each category, all other coverage elements cannot score higher than this element so that coverage scores are not inflated by only a few datasets.

Data Available the Last 5 Years
This coverage element measures how many of the last 5 years of data are available for indicators within each category.

Data Available the Last 10 Years
This coverage element measures how many of the last 10 years of data are available for indicators within each category.

First Administrative Level
This coverage element measures whether data are available at the first administrative level within each category. First administrative levels are defined by the ISO 3166-2 standard and adjusted for country practices. Not all categories or indicators are required to be published data at this level.

Second Administrative Level
This coverage element measures whether data are available at the second administrative level within each category. Second administrative levels are not defined and any further division of first administrative levels are accepted. Not all categories or indicators are required to be published at this level.

Openness

The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) assesses openness based on five coverage elements described below. Each category receives a coverage score based on the amount of data available in that category. Average scores across all categories are shown in the chart below.

In general, openness scores are based on the format and licensing of the datasets, the comprehensiveness of metadata, and what download options exist.

Data License/Terms of Use

The licensing or terms of use that govern the use and reuse of data assessed in ODIN are classified as Open, Some Restrictions, Not Open or Not Available (if no license is found). Below is licensing information for data from the national statistics office on their website and data portal used most in their assessment, if applicable.
