Are you looking for data? Do you have a project that requires data? Are you a data analyst that’s working in the second phase of the data analytics life cycle? In this series of posts, there is a post called Open Data that has links to several data sources.

Two basic types of data used by data analysts: internal and external. Internal data is data that lives within a company’s (or organization’s) own systems. It’s typically also generated from within the company. You may also hear internal data described as primary data. Internal data is relevant and free to access (the company owns it). External data is data that lives and is generated outside an organization. It can come from a variety of places, including other businesses, government sources, the media, professional associations, schools, and more. External data is sometimes called secondary data.
