I just found this:

Great to see social science embracing open data.  Found this via the
World Internet Project
http://www.aut.ac.nz/research/research-institutes/icdc/projects/world-internet-project

The AUT research is funded by the National Library of New Zealand and
InternetNZ, and they put their New Zealand data into the NZSSDS
repository.  I was chuffed to see that, as I'm on the council of
InternetNZ and work with the National Library as part of LIAC.org.nz.
I love not having to say "um, shouldn't this be open?" :-)
