Govbase is a warehouse of qualitative and quantitative data sets relating to the governance of online communities. Govbase is hosted on Airtable as a series of linked data tables with curated views.

Govbase is maintained by Metagov and supports a variety of Metagov projects as well as external collaborations.

The data

Overview

Govbase is organized into tables of related and interlinked data. Navigate between tables with the Airtable tabs.

For each table, Metagov has curated views to look at subsets of the data. Navigate between views with the Airtable sidebar. Each table has an "All records" view with every available row and column for the data set, in addition to filtered, sorted, and grouped views. If you don't see the view you need, let us know and we can help you create it!
