Winners for the AppVenture Challenge, a competition organized by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore that recognized the best use of government data in a mobile app, were announced last week.
The Challenge, which aimed to get participants trained in mobile app development, also encouraged them to make use of some 5,000 datasets from 50 local government ministries and agencies, all available for developers on data.gov.sg.
Available datasets can range from information on the financial, physical, and social health from 4,591 senior citizens to the breakdown of new flats sold by flat type.
ShowNearby, a location-based services search app, won first place for the company category with their use of location data on services and amenities. Also, Parks “Live” @ SG, which allows users to explore Pasir Ris Park using augmented reality, secured top spot for the individual category.
