Association of Public Data Users (APDU)

APDU is a membership network of individuals and organizations that provide a voice for public data. We foster communication between data users and stakeholders regarding important issues of government information and statistical policy.

Our members share a vital concern about the collection, dissemination, preservation, and interpretation of public data.

As an association we are committed to helping users identify public data that meet their needs and apply those data in cost-effective and appropriate ways, establishing effective two-way communication between data producers and users, and bringing the perspectives and concerns of public data users to bear on important issues of government information and statistical policy.
