Data.gov features metadata such as title, description, keywords, contact information, and access or download links for nearly 200,000 datasets. Data.gov obtains the metadata from federal and non-federal government sources that maintain their metadata following a specific \u003ca class=\"external ext-link\" title=\"This link will direct you to an external website that may have different content and privacy policies from Data.gov.\" href=\"https://project-open-data.cio.gov/v1.1/schema/\" rel=\"external\"\u003eschema\u003c/a\u003e. When an agency adds metadata for a new dataset, Data.gov discovers the addition in the next regularly scheduled “harvest” of the agency’s metadata source (in most cases, on a nightly basis).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe updated Metrics page gives a breakdown of all the datasets currently on Data.gov. You can see the number of federal datasets vs. non-federal, and the number of agencies featured. Scrolling through the page, you can see how many datasets are listed by each agency. Where you see a + symbol, you can expand to see a more detailed breakdown of how many datasets are contributed by components within an agency or a department. The “Latest Entry” column on the right shows the date of the most recent change in an agency’s dataset collection–an addition, deletion, or change in the metadata for a dataset.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe data from the Metrics page itself can be downloaded as a CSV or Excel. A history of the datasets published per month, going back to 2013, is also available. The Metrics page is updated automatically on a nightly basis.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2017/08/600-x-400-datagov-metrics2.jpg\"\n    alt=\"screen capture from metrics page.\"/\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more background on Data.gov metrics, including how the dataset count is determined, \u003ca href=\"https://www.data.gov/about/#metrics\"\u003esee our updated About page.\u003c/a\u003e{.local-link}\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis post was originally published on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.data.gov/meta/check-data-govs-new-metrics-page\"\u003eData.gov blog\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n"}
