✎ Updated 20 Aug 2026 Publication date recorded for 2 sources. What changed →

Yokohama runs its open-data catalogue on CKAN at data.city.yokohama.lg.jp. Counted through the portal's own search API in August 2026, all 654 datasets carry a Creative Commons Attribution licence and none is left without one — a completeness almost no city in this atlas reaches, and the opposite of portals that publish downloadable files under no licence at all. The catalogue records themselves were created from March 2024, while the documents inside them reach back further.

📊 Impact

654 of 654 datasets licensed CC BY, with zero unlicensed records, counted directly through the portal's package_search API in August 2026.

🎓 Lesson

Licence coverage is the cheapest thing to verify about an open-data portal and the most often skipped: one API call separates a catalogue that can be reused from one that merely can be downloaded.

Evidence Passport · public beta 3 addressable claims, 2 source dossiers, one permanent baseline. The passport is unreviewed — an AI-assisted structural migration, not a human or expert endorsement. Every revision keeps a permanent copy under revision history.

Inspect the claims, one by one — verbatim text, sources and caveats for all 3

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-9ed2c3d764895104 quantitative
all 654 datasets carry a Creative Commons Attribution licence and none is left without one
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
A package_search call with a license_id facet returns 654 datasets in total and a single facet value, クリエイティブ・コモンズ 表示 (Creative Commons Attribution), with a count of 654 — leaving no dataset without a licence.
Caveat
No claim-specific caveat recorded

Sources carrying this claim

Claim 2 clm-e8961e1e8ea2167d quantitative
The catalogue records themselves were created from March 2024
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Sorting the catalogue by metadata_created ascending returns an oldest record stamped 2024-03-25, which dates this CKAN instance rather than Yokohama's publishing practice; the document in that record is from June 2017.
Caveat
This dates the current portal instance, not the city's open-data programme, whose start year is not sourced here.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
