Project Description

Press Any Key For Answers is a prototype platform for exploring Australia's public data landscape.

It aggregates datasets from the ABS and other government agencies, providing a searchable inventory with metadata, categories, and keyword support.

Users can quickly discover datasets, understand what’s available, and access them via API or download links. The platform demonstrates a scalable approach for building a national inventory of public data.

Data Story

Problem: Government datasets are scattered across multiple platforms, making it difficult for researchers, educators, and policymakers to find relevant data quickly.

Solution: Press Any Key For Answers provides a centralized, searchable platform where datasets from ABS and other public sources are aggregated. Users can explore by keyword, category, or source, and view metadata such as collection date, purpose, access method, and related datasets.

Impact: The prototype demonstrates how a national inventory can improve data discoverability, save time, and empower users to make informed decisions using public datasets.
