AI readiness and recorded category links

Oxford Insights Government AI Readiness Index 2024: © 2024 Oxford Insights, published 20 December 2024. Scores extracted and country labels normalized. Adapted score table retains CC BY-SA 4.0. Original report. This licence applies to the adapted table, not unrelated site code. Data-center items and UNESCO intangible-heritage identifier links are incomplete Wikidata structured-data snapshots, retrieved 7 October 2026, CC0; they do not establish operational facility totals or a complete current UNESCO roster.

Excluded measures

5G readiness: 5G readiness requires a defined index. ITU population coverage is a different measure, and commercial redistribution permission for the direct dataset is not verified. Source and terms

Robot density: A reusable country-level robot-density table is not included. IFR database redistribution requires licence review. Source and terms

Multilateral reach: Multilateral reach has no defined scoring method here. Use recorded organization links; they are not a reach score. Source and terms

UN peacekeeping: The UN portal restricts reuse to non-commercial purposes. No country contribution table is redistributed in this commercial collection. Source and terms

Core treaty participation: Core treaty participation needs verified ratification records and reuse permission. Signatures and organization memberships cannot establish ratification. Source and terms

Reuse terms and limitations

World Bank datasets are reusable under their stated licences and additional terms; third-party indicator exceptions must be respected. Direct FAO agricultural production datasets are excluded from this edition because their additional terms require review for the intended commercial use. Oxford Insights adapted scores remain under CC BY-SA 4.0. These permissions apply to the identified data, not all material on linked websites.

Source terms can change. The cited licence pages and individual metadata govern reuse; this site does not certify blanket legal clearance for every commercial purpose.

Publication source policy

Only the approved source collection is served. Older research records, the conflicting UNESCO feed, sample statistics, article bodies, photographs and institutional logos are excluded. Reuse permissions do not verify factual accuracy or certify every legal obligation of a commercial website.

Country category coverage

Coverage counts show stored source observations, not proof that a category is complete. A missing record does not mean zero. Reference years vary; some latest observations are old.

Historical themes

Download the audit, including missing countries for each category. Measures still awaiting suitable sources: 5G readiness, data-center counts, AI readiness, semiconductor exports, robot density, multilateral reach, peacekeeping personnel, treaty participation and intangible heritage.

Wikidata structured metadata · CC0

Source: Wikidata contributors. Structured labels, dates, qualifiers and relationships retrieved 5 October 2026. Adaptation: selected metadata; normalized country labels; original brief summaries and editorial navigation links. Source precision and calendars retained without calendar conversion. Linked reference pages, encyclopedia articles and media are outside this permission.

Heritage dates describe source designation relationships, not the complete current official UNESCO list. The direct UNESCO DataHub feed is excluded because its displayed Creative Commons licence conflicts with linked syndication restrictions. Country heritage counts use independently retrieved Wikidata statements.

Archived coastline lengths · CIA World Factbook / factbook.json

Source: CIA, The World Factbook, preserved by factbook/factbook.json under CC0. Numeric coastline fields only; country names mapped to World in Facts, source units retained in kilometres, source qualifications retained in the comparison table. Revision 144d6977b2b01ac1cbd220de754c0a005616760b. Retrieved 7 October 2026. The measurement year is not specified and is not replaced by the retrieval year. These are archived figures, not a current national survey. Methods and territorial scope vary; newer national measurements can differ. Explicit landlocked zeroes are kept; missing or geographically ambiguous values stay absent. No source photographs, logos or narrative profiles are reproduced.

Oil reserve estimates and solar PV potential

Oil: CIA World Factbook via the pinned factbook.json CC0 archive. Source crude-oil estimated reserves converted to billions of barrels; source estimate years retained. The source field does not certify independently audited proved reserves.

Solar: The World Bank: Global Photovoltaic Power Potential by Country (2020): Solargis, with funding from the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). Data obtained from Global Solar Atlas 2.0, developed and operated by Solargis s.r.o. on behalf of the World Bank Group, utilizing Solargis data. Licence: CC BY 4.0, with applicable World Bank and Global Solar Atlas additional terms. Only the long-term average practical PVOUT Level 1 column and country coverage notes are selected; values are unchanged, ISO3 labels normalized, missing observations excluded. 2020 is the study edition, not an annual generation observation. Values describe fixed, optimally tilted monofacial utility-scale PV, excluding land with identifiable physical obstacles. They do not measure total clean-energy potential, wind, hydro, installable capacity or investment returns. Use to inform policy discussions, not financial commitments. Neither Solargis nor the World Bank Group guarantees accuracy or completeness; the site is independent and not endorsed by them.

Glottolog language metadata · CC BY 4.0

Hammarström, Harald & Forkel, Robert & Haspelmath, Martin & Bank, Sebastian. 2025. Glottolog 5.2.1. Leipzig: Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. (Available online at https://glottolog.org)

Snapshot retrieved 5 October 2026; revision 072ca0d0410039fb8b779be8fc165bac575d2cda. Dataset metadata identifies version 5.2.1. Changes: selected language-level names, ISO codes, Glottocodes and family labels; duplicate names disambiguated; earliest and latest dated references selected from the most-extensive-description catalogue sequence. Documentation milestones are not language birth or earliest attestation. Source books and grammar text are not copied.

World Bank observations · CC BY 4.0 with additional terms

Attribution: The World Bank: World Development Indicators: the underlying data providers listed below. Each used indicator’s metadata explicitly identifies CC BY-4.0. Saved observations retrieved 5–6 October 2026; trade additionally displays retrieval and source update dates.

Changes: country labels normalized, aggregates and null observations excluded, latest non-null country observations selected, tourism arrivals converted to millions. Annual values are retained, with missing years left as gaps. Trade balance is exports minus imports in the same year. GDP uses current dollars without inflation adjustment. Values may include estimates or revisions; supplied source flags are retained.

When sharing these data, retain source attribution, modifications, the licence and World Bank additional terms, including the acknowledgment requirement for subsequent reuse. No official endorsement is claimed.

CEPII BACI · local files, Etalab Open Licence 2.0

No BACI dataset is hosted in this edition. The reader processes files selected on the visitor’s device and retains filename, classification and release. CEPII identifies BACI under Etalab Open Licence 2.0. Preserve CEPII attribution, source release/date and transformations when sharing results.

Gaulier, Guillaume and Zignago, Soledad (2010). BACI: International Trade Database at the Product-Level. CEPII Working Paper No. 2010-23. Changes: thousands of US dollars converted to US dollars; flows filtered and aggregated by country, partner and product. Unrelated quantities are not summed. Files from other providers need their own reuse permissions.

Religious timelines · selected structured dates

Religious building and religious organization inception statements are selected from Wikidata using explicit country and religious affiliation relationships. Denominations are grouped through source subclass relationships. Inception is not conversion, the origin or arrival of a faith, or a religious population share. Christianity retrieval is capped at 12,000 returned rows; coverage is uneven. Source date precision and alternatives are retained, and no theological truth or institutional endorsement is asserted.

Civilization timelines · source periods and related events

Selected civilizations, dynasties, archaeological cultures and historical polities have recorded inception, dissolution or period date statements. Alternative chronologies remain separate. Related events require an explicit source main-subject, part-of or participant relationship; this does not establish causation or a complete account. The date window fits the selected stored records, including periods before 3500 BCE. Present-day country connections do not reconstruct historical territory.

Coverage

42,184 selected timeline records across all 244 country/territory labels, with territory-specific records for the five former gaps. Documentation chronology covers 8,537 of 8,618 catalogue identities. All nine listed religion topics have related dated milestones. Religious site and institution dates do not describe changes in national religious population shares. Coverage is uneven; capped source queries and missing dates leave gaps. Counts do not establish complete history. Annual observations cover 213 countries/economies; missing records and unsupported measures remain unavailable.

Transport & logistics

World Bank Logistics Performance Index: overall performance, infrastructure, customs clearance and delivery timeliness. CC BY 4.0 with World Bank additional terms. Survey scores range from 1 to 5; higher is better. Latest non-null observations selected, country labels normalized, API reference years preserved. These are not shipping prices, measured transit times or current speed guarantees. Earlier survey scores are not combined with LPI 2.0.

Manufacturing Atlas

Manufacturing value added uses World Bank WDI indicator NV.IND.MANF.CD, updated October 8, 2026, under CC BY 4.0 with World Bank additional terms. Country labels are normalized; ranks, shares and growth are World in Facts calculations. Official indicator · Reuse terms.

Selected electronics evidence consists of original factual summaries linked to government and manufacturer reports; no source article text, photographs or proprietary charts are reproduced. Direct FAOSTAT agricultural datasets and their product pages have been removed from this edition. No provider endorsement is implied.

Country economy and industry breakdowns

World Bank: World Development Indicators, retrieved 20 October 2026. Ten series carry explicit CC BY-4.0 indicator metadata: agriculture, industry, services and manufacturing shares of GDP; food, textiles, chemicals, machinery and other manufacturing shares of manufacturing value added; and ICT services as a share of service exports. Original providers include national statistical agencies, central banks, OECD, UNIDO and IMF, as credited in the indicator metadata.

Data, definitions, source dates and indicator licence evidence · CC BY 4.0 · World Bank additional terms. Changes: country labels matched to existing navigation; 2000–2025 non-null observations selected; percentages formatted and displayed without normalization. No provider endorsement is implied. These are national-accounts sector shares, not the excluded FAOSTAT product-output datasets. Tourism contribution and finer service-sector GDP breakdowns are not included.
