About us
The Data Republic is a data 2.0 recycling company. We transform data generated through the Internet into information. For us, data 2.0 are the raw material and our major differentiation, distinguishing between two types:
- Public data 2.0: data from the social web (a comment on Twitter, the rating and review of a hotel, a photo uploaded to Flickr, etc.) and open data (socio-economic statistics or availability of public services such as Bicing, for example ).
