High value datasets (HVD)
There are great opportunities in improving access to and use of data. In this context, amendments have been made to the Act on the reuse of public information, which stipulates that certain government data shall be accessible free of charge and in a specific format.
Statistical data that are considered high value datasets (HVD) will be collected on this page with the aim of making them more accessible. Other high value datasets can be obtained from the Icelandic Met Office, the Natural Science Institute of Iceland and Iceland Revenue and Customs.
Work on defining high value datasets in Statistics Iceland's statistics is ongoing. The page will be updated as that work progresses.
