Dataset Size in Bytes for the Colombian National Open Data Portal

A metadata dataset from the Colombian National Open Data Portal (datos.gov.co) tracks the size of published datasets. It likely contains columns for unique identifiers, dataset names, and file sizes in bytes and gigabytes. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of dataset sizes using uid_size_bytes and uid_size_gigabytes to identify outliers.
• Monitor storage growth over time by joining on uid and tracking uid_size_bytes changes.
• Profile the data portal's inventory by categorizing datasets using the cname column against their size metrics.

Strengths

• Provides direct size metrics (uid_size_bytes, uid_size_gigabytes) for precise volume analysis.
• Sourced from a national open data portal (datos.gov.co), indicating an official metadata source.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
