a data harvest source some open data catalog platforms already have a urltoken harvest source built in (see these examples from socrata and arcgis open data), but it is possible to set up a harvest source with any data management system (see this ckan example). the metadata required from non - federal sources does not include the usg noted fields and additional fields can be left out on a case - by - case basis. to learn more about metadata best practices and validators, check out the resources and tools below. required: a harvest source at: https: / / _ _ _ _ _ _ _. gov / data. json, e. g. urltoken
in august 2009, andrew carpenter, bob burbach, and dave augustine banded together outside of their work at wested interactive in san francisco to enter the [ sunlight labs apps for america 2 ] contest using data available on data. gov. understanding the wealth of important information published every day in the federal register, they used the raw data to develop urltoken, which won second place in the contest. in march 2010, the office of the federal register approached the trio to repurpose, refine, and expand on the urltoken application to bring the federal register to a wider audience. federal register 2. 0 is the product of this innovative partnership and was developed using the principles of open government .
the new federal register 2. 0 (urltoken, shown in figure 1) makes the federal register publication vastly more accessible to anyone who is not an experienced government relations professional through new features including search, categorized browsing by topic and federal agency, improved readability, and clear information about related public comment periods. govpulse wasn’t the only project to create an innovative tool based on the federal register xml release, though it has been the most successful. fedthread, created at princeton university’s center for information technology policy, was a collaborative annotation tool. (it was discontinued in 2011 .) and urltoken by brett killins provides customized email updates as search queries match new entries published in the register. 17
have you ever wondered about the relationship between nara’s metadata guidance, open data, and the project open data metadata schema for urltoken in this post, we provide an overview of these three pieces of guidance and how they work together. nara bulletin 2015 - 04: metadata guidance for the transfer of permanent electronic records nara bulletin 2015 - 04 specifies …
kenya is only the latest and not the first to make information a right. according to the website urltoken 93 the right to government - held information is protected by the constitutions of roughly 40 countries. the philippines has a particularly strong provision specifically mentioning records, documents, papers, and research data. the united states is conspicuously not among these countries .
what is open data providing by indian government. how to use the api and download the data in csv, json or in xls format. open data is now making indian government more transparent. open data is for all for that you can visit urltoken where you will get the knowledge and data of all the sectors like education, health survey, android apps .
the urltoken platform will offer a module for contributing data catalogs by various government agencies for making it available on the front end website after a due approval process through a defined workflow. it will also have a module for managing and updating various functionalities and content types of the national data portal frontend, and a module for collating and disseminating viewer feedback on various data catalogs .
after more than an year of its announcement, looks like the indian government has finally launched urltoken (hat - t ip – @ paraschopra) in open beta. the site allows the government of india ministries / departments and their organizations to publish data - sets, documents, services, tools and applications collected by them for public use, in order to make government functions more
the re - launched urltoken in december 2011 took congressional floor speeches to a new artistic level, making them into illustrated holiday cards (figure 12). of course no longer a word cloud, the holiday cards mash up what was learned from the word cloud data analysis with a fantastical illustration technique to make a novel and extremely compelling visualization of what congress is talking about .
the legal materials that have received focus by u. s. projects include congressional bills (e. g. by my own urltoken and urltoken by jim harper), state legislation (richmond sunlight by waldo jaquith, knowledge as power by sarah schacht, and the open states project of the sunlight foundation), administrative law (federal register 2. 0), statutory law (cornell university’s legal information institute and virginia decoded by waldo jaquith), and case law (recap out of princeton university, all among many others). what these projects all have in common is digging deeply into a particular aspect of law, generally making the text available in a way it was not before, and often providing additional tools to track changes to the law .
this document has some forward - thinking recommendations, including the use of rdf, sparql, and uris for identifiers, which are technologies for the semantic web. the semantic web has gained little traction for open data either in government or outside, except at urltoken where rdf is a core part of the platform. it also addresses bulk data, discovery, and the often overlooked issue of text encoding .
top: average daily ridership in the wmata rail system by year, for select stations, using google fusion tables and then some photoshopping after. bottom: ridership growth from 2009 to 2010 shown as the size and color of the circle markers located at each of the wmata rail stations in downtown d. c, using urltoken and some drawing by hand. the smallest circles actually represent a decrease in ridership .
the problems addressed by disinfectant - oriented projects and consumer - oriented products can be similar. mysociety’s urltoken and popvox, a company i co - founded in 2010, help people contact their members of parliament or members of congress. like traditional open government applications, these two websites also have something to do with government accountability. but the approaches are different from websites that indict government as broken and not listening .
a common format for permalinks to documents, which is used at most newspaper websites, is urltoken web addresses of this form give a clue about the date and nature of the document which helps users verify that they have the right link. the league of technical voters proposes that web addresses be used to help distinguish document versions by having a different but related web address for each published version of a document, as well as in the extreme case to identify paragraphs within documents (see urltoken). the american association of law libraries’ principles call permanent addresses “persistent urls (purls) ” — although purls are usually short - urls that can updated at any time to redirect to the current location of a resource. the use of redirecting urls should be a last resort when a persistent, descriptive url cannot be created .
federal agencies that manage geospatial data should make their geospatial metadata holdings available to urltoken using a consolidated geospatial harvest source, preferably one single csw endpoint for the entire agency. for example, all offices and bureaus within the department of interior would make their metadata available through one consolidated csw covering all of the department of the interior. (non - geospatial metadata should be provided separately. see section 3 below. )
visitors who are interested in other datasets not yet available on urltoken can suggest them by clicking on the “metrics” tab from the home page. over 1, 000 suggestions for datasets have been submitted since may 2009. of the suggestions received, roughly 22 percent could not be published due primarily to security, privacy, or technology constraints. all other suggestions are either now available or are in the process of being made available .
this first principle was adapted from sunlight foundation’s principles for transparency in government 135 and the “access” requirement of the open knowledge foundation’s open knowledge definition (okd) at urltoken (and reproduced in section 7. 2). the recommendations below continue with those published by the open government working group (opengovdata. org), convened by carl malamud in november 2007. here are its principles two through four. 136 data should be :
