Denice W. Ross and Christopher Steven Marcum, from the University of California at Berkeley, produced a field guide for federal data.
The purpose of this guide is to provide a more complete context for federal data users and stakeholders that will inspire them to consider a broader range of data types in their research and advocacy; we also hope it will also inform national dialogues about the future of federal data.
The Guide is organized into eight primary categories of federal data, each representing distinct collection methods, policy frameworks, and use cases.
Useful. Although maybe go without the generated illustrations.
