Mooting in 2014, the Australian Government looks to strengthen data protection requirements for by requiring IT suppliers to provide a “Commonwealth Data Protection Plan” (CDPP).
The CDPP essentially describes how an agency would treat its data during the phases of its lifecycle. The data lifecycle typically entails:
Collection
Usage & Disclosure
Storage & Archival
Disposal & Destruction
It also looks to integrate with other data protection mechanisms like:
A new Insights page reports your downloads, likes, progress and quiz results, with CSV exports of all of it. Alongside it: account settings, a forgotten-password link that actually exists, and a notification when an admin reviews your work.
Search now covers datasets, models, courses, guides and news from a single box. Everything a signed-out visitor can read is also available as JSON, with no key and nothing to sign up for — plus RSS feeds and a sitemap.
Lessons can now end with a quiz you have to pass to finish them, courses issue a shareable certificate when you reach the end, and the learners who took a course can say what it was worth.
Every dataset from the old glitchdata shop now has a page on the hub — and, for 91 of them, a link to the official register, portal or standard where the same data can be had today, free, from the people who publish it.
