Datová sada (dataset) je strukturovaná sada záznamů, která je dostupná - a pokud je to možné - provázaná s dalšími datovými sadami Hlídače státu. Vytvoření a správa datových sad je zdarma, volně dostupné a prakticky neomezené. Preferujeme vytváření datových sad s daty státu, samosprávy, státních úřadů a firem, které mají či mohou mít informační hodnotu pro širší veřejnost anebo vhodně doplňují informace poskytované Hlídačem státu.
