Prototypes
Open data enables innovation. With open aid data and information, many people can explore it’s potential and create proof-of-concept and prototype websites, visualisations, presentations and resources.
In this section you will find a number of prototypes. Some of these are being actively developed, others remain to showcase what is possible, although they may no longer be part of active projects. Many prototypes will need additional funding or support to become widely available products. If you can offer that support, prototype creators may be interested in hearing from you.
If you’ve developed an aid information prototype then let us know so we can feature it here.
