Data inventory of the federal administration 2017 (xls)

Description

The data inventory of the Federal Administration includes all datasets that have been gathered, created, administered, processed and stored as part of the statutory remit. We use the term “dataset” to mean any structured collection of related content, for example in the form of lists in text documents (Word, RTF), Excel and CSV tables, or relational databases (Oracle, mySQL). Accordingly, business dossiers and classification systems are not regarded as datasets for this purpose. Similarly, specialist and other applications are not included, as these are used merely to edit or consult data; however their content may well fall within the definition. Also excluded are data files that, under Art. 11a of the Data Protection Act, are registered with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner; collections of geodata that are already contained in the central geodata catalogue geocat.ch; and collections of data for purely personal use.
