Open Risk Data: An Open Online Database for Risk Managers
Open Risk Data is a new facility that aims to collect and made available online open source / public domain / creative commons licensed data sets that are relevant for risk management purposes
Motivation and Objective
The motivation for Open Risk Data is the observation that many major risk events have significant amounts of public information available about them. This is information that can be collected and structured so as to form the basis for further analysis.
Open Risk Data is a structured data repository for select types of Risk Data. It supports the Open Risk Manual in the collection and dissemination of resources relevant for risk management.
Getting started
- Overview of Open Risk Data principles and resources
- A Generic Primer on the supported Data Model
- A more complete introduction (still general scope) to the Data Model
- The list of available Data Types
- Using the Data Model to express risk data
- The Risk Data Ontology
- Overview of Data Quality issues
Querying Data
- Simple Manual Search using keywords is via the Search Bar at the top
- Via the API Example
- SPARQL API (forthcoming)
Inserting Data
The manual data entry interface has two forms for creating items and properties respectively:
Programmatic insertion of data is on the roadmap building on mediawiki/wikidata tools
- QuickStatements (forthcoming)
- OpenRefine (forthcoming)
Datasets
- Fintech Risk Events is a collection of risk events that is being migrated from the Manual to the Database
- Data Breaches (forthcoming)
Technology
Open Risk Data is based on Wikibase. Wikibase is a powerful, flexible and customizable open source knowledge base software that drives Wikidata. Wikidata acts as the central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wiktionary, Wikisource, and others.
Wikibase's data export options include JSON, RDF/XML, N3, YAML and more and it provides a powerful query interface using SPARQL for both local and federated queries (with updates on changes), extending the potential data available from a single node to thousands. NB: This functionality is not yet implemented in Open Risk Data (upcoming)
A growing number of open databases participate in the wikidata universe as federated endpoints
