So, Open Data. Got it. This is the same category as config files that are kept up to date by a program as it runs.
- Is it "a program"? Very clearly not.
- Is it source code? You can argue either way. The program won't work without it, but "this specific one" is not required for the program to do something, and that ambiguity means you probably don't want to call it "source code" because it's too vague.
- Is it data used by a program in order to perform its task? Absolutely. It even uniquely defines the program behaviour, and so is a thing onto itself within the context of the program it's used by.
