Using the `Open Government Portal`/`Open Data Portal` rather than the `Open Data Inventory` will result in a more intuitive view of available data sets and their formats. Keep in mind, the language used is to make the information as accessible as possible to the largest possible range of interested parties. So if you're to ask why such an inventory exists, the answer would be that any number of differing purposes exist for any number of potential inquiries. IE—not everybody who wants information from this kind of database is an engineer or scientist.
