One of the most valuable contributions you can make to the OpenSpending project is to add a new dataset. This section of the guide walks you through the process of adding new data.
|
||||
|
||||
A typical workflow for importing a dataset into OpenSpending involves the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
* Gather machine-readable data from a trustworthy source.
|
||||
|
||||
* Convert the data to a CSV file in the format expected by OpenSpending, cleaning it to remove inconsistencies and errors.
|
||||
|
||||
* Publish the data to the web.
|
||||
|
||||
* Create a dataset add the published data as a new data source.
|
||||
|
||||
* Model the dataset to assign a logical role to each column in the source table.
|
||||
|
||||
* Load the data, or refine the data based on the feedback given by the platform about the data's consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these steps will be explained in detail in the following sections.
