I have just started exploring data.gov and want to ensure i understand relationships under a Topic. If I pick a topic, then it lists # of datasets mapped to the topic. Then we have Categories, Tags, Organizations, Publishers and Bureaus. I can infer the following:

  • A dataset mapped to a Topic can show in another Topic as well
  • Datasets published by an Organization add up to the total data set for the topic
  • What is the purpose of Categories under a Topic? A subclassing below Topic?
  • Is Organization, Publisher and Bureau any linkage that can be inferred?
  • Is there a metrics download where I can get stats on the above constructs? I did download a metrics file but it has stats on agency/ subagency and datasets. Eg: Topic of Finance = 102 datasets. Is this metric and others like these downloadable?
