A comprehensive open data index of Turkey

🇹🇷 Open data index of Turkey

A comprehensive open data index of Turkey. This repository lists open data portals made public by municipal governments and the government of Turkey.

Why?

Turkey definitely needs some improvement on transparency. As developers and citizens, we often have a hard time finding decent data about our country. I listed the resources I could find to make this already difficult process a little easier. Please contribute to this list.

If you are a citizen, please encourage state and municipal organizations to publish data that should be ours.
