The goal is to maximize the value and investment in data by increasing the potential for the data to be shared and reused, to minimize transaction costs in finding relevant data and data methodologies, and to prevent duplication. The project builds on existing expertise and resources such as the Microdata Library,<a _ngcontent-sc158="" href="https://data.worldbank.org" target="_blank">Open Data Catalog</a> and GFDRR. </div><div _ngcontent-sc158="" class="text-md mb-3"> The Data Catalog provides a “One-Stop Shop” for development data produced, acquired or used by the World Bank in accordance with the Bank Procedure for Development Dataset Acquisition, Archiving and Dissemination, and the Guidance on Data Acquisition and Archiving. This includes metadata for datasets from other catalogs such as the <a _ngcontent-sc158="" href="https://microdata.worldbank.org/" target="_blank">Microdata Library</a>, <a _ngcontent-sc158="" href="https://energydata.info/" target="_blank">EnergyData.Info</a>, <a _ngcontent-sc158="" href="http://finances.worldbank.org/" target="_blank">Finances</a> and <a _ngcontent-sc158="" href="https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/topics/125589">World Bank Open Data API.</a> Where needed, the Data Catalog also serves as a data storage repository, providing long-term storage for World Bank development data. </div></div></tab><tab _ngcontent-sc158="" heading="Navigating the Data Catalog" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="" class="tab-pane"><div _ngcontent-sc158="" class="my-4 mt-sm-2"><section _ngcontent-sc158="" class="mb-5 pb-2 mt-4 pt-4"><div _ngcontent-sc158="" class="row align-items-center"><div _ngcontent-sc158="" class="col-lg-6"><h3 _ngcontent-sc158="" class="font-weight-bold mb-2 pb-1">Search Bar</h3><div _ngcontent-sc158="" class="fs-md mb-4">The simplest way to look for data is to use the search box at the top of the page.</div><ul _ngcontent-sc158="" class="getting-started-items"><li _ngcontent-sc158="">Use keywords (dataset, indicator or country name) to find relevant data </li><li _ngcontent-sc158="">Data Catalog matches these keywords to terms found in the Titles, Descriptions, Countries, Regions, and Tags.
