About

Our World in Data (OWID) is a non-profit scientific online publication and global data aggregator produced by the Global Change Data Lab in collaboration with researchers at the University of Oxford. OWID compiles, harmonizes, and documents standardized cross-country public health datasets, tracking disease incidence, vaccination rollouts, child mortality, cause-of-death breakdowns, and healthcare system investments across sovereign nations.

Through Fibric, an operator references harmonized global health time-series and comparative national welfare metrics, proposing international site benchmark indicators, global workforce wellness strategies, and long-term facility resilience plans.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Our World in Data and what it could propose, based on the publisher's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Harmonized country-level public health time-series spanning life expectancy, disease burdens, and infant mortality
  • Global vaccination tracking metrics detailing doses administered, completed initial protocols, and booster uptake percentages
  • Epidemiological time-series tables for infectious diseases, pandemic curves, and excess mortality estimates
  • Environmental and lifestyle health risk indicators including smoking prevalence, obesity rates, and air pollution exposure
  • Programmatic Charts, Tables, and Indicators REST API endpoints returning structured JSON and CSV datasets

Proposed actions

Read-only. This feed informs operators; it changes nothing.

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Benchmark international subsidiary health profiles for benefits planning

    Query OWID national health burden and disease prevalence metrics, proposing tailored corporate healthcare benefits and preventative health screenings for international office locations.

    With Site Benchmark, Shift Coverage

  • Track global disease elimination progress for supply continuity

    Monitor multi-year immunization coverage and infectious disease incidence in supplier countries, proposing regional supply chain risk adjustments for critical vendor hubs.

    With Stockout Forecast, Supplier Fill Rate

Requirements

  • HTTP client capable of querying OWID ETL APIs or parsing bulk CSV and Parquet repository files
  • Mapping logic linking ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes to multinational corporate facility locations
  • Attribution acknowledging Our World in Data and underlying primary research sources under CC BY 4.0
Authentication
None. Our World in Data API endpoints and GitHub data repositories are completely open without API keys or authentication requirements.

Limits

  • Data updates according to OWID publication and ETL pipeline cycles rather than immediate intraday sensor streaming
  • National indicators represent aggregate population statistics and do not capture sub-provincial local health variances
  • Data harmonization reconciles disparate international sources, which may show minor variances from local raw agency counts

Access and pricing
