# Long description

An interactive bar chart which visualizes the ‘openness’ of countries in terms of the availability of open datasets in a range of sectors. Countries from each continent are allocated a colour. From this it can be seen at a glance that European, North American and Oceanian nations tend to have higher Open Data Index scores, and countries from sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East and North Africa lower scores, with Asia and Latin America and Caribbean distributed widely although tending towards the lower half of the chart. The five countries at the top end of the chart are Great Britain, USA, Denmark, Norway and Netherlands, whilst the five at the bottom end are Cyprius, St Kitts-Nevis, British Virgin Islands, Kenya and Yemen. Each bar is broken down into ten constituent subcategories, each of which can also be selected from a dropdown menu to display a new bar chart relating to that subcategory.
