Hi @gustavo_uy,

Thanks for your feedback. Are you referring to this portal? This is the URL that our reviewer @codrina was referring to. It would be great if you could help spotting the reference URL.

All the best
Danny

Hi Danny and @codrina; yes, I’m refering to this dataset.
https://catalogodatos.gub.uy/dataset/padrones-urbanos-y-rurales/resource/f06168aa-8217-48cd-83f9-ddc9fed9a55d

I don’t know why such a change in the evaluation from 2015, where it complies 100% as open data.

Thank you for the resource Gustavo,

We checked again and the reason why the review was 0% is that according to this year’s methodology, we were looking for a map of the country with the land ownership linked to it. In this case, we are missing a resource where we can relate the CSVs to a map. You can see the Denmark example, where they link to a Shapefile with each of those codes here. Since we couldn’t find such reference on the site, we can’t change the status of the submission.

Hi, Oscar, Danny. According to our laws we cannot publish land ownership.
If you need a map where to view the land plots you can check if this link is ok. It’s from the same agency that publish the dataset.

Hi @gustavo_uy,

Thank you so much for the background info. We are aware that the current land ownership category sets a high bar. We will add the information you just provided. Also it would be interesting to hear more about the law regulating land ownership publication. This can also help us to refine the data category.
