#### Spending Stories
In 2011, the Open Knowledge Foundation was awarded a Knight News Challenge Grant to work on the <a href="http://blog.okfn.org/2011/01/18/spending-stories/">Spending Stories</a> Project. Large numbers are often meaningless to the general public, and despite a wealth of information around government spending, the topic of government finance is often overlooked by journalists. The Spending Stories project aims to facilitate reporting by speeding up fact-checking around spending data as well as connecting news stories about public spending to relevant datasets and visualisations to put these stories into context.
We're into our second year of the project now. <a href="http://www.pbs.org/idealab/2012/12/follow-the-money-a-spending-stories-guide-for-journalists345.html">See what we are up to by following our updates on the PBS Idea Lab blog.</a>
#### budzeti.ba: Bosnian Budget Bubbles
<img class="pull-right" style="margin-left: 1em;" title="Balkan Budgets" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8063/8219557569_cc12ebbdea_m.jpg" alt="" />
In October 2013 OpenSpending launched the "Where Does My Money Go"-site <a href="http://budzeti.ba/">budzeti.ba</a> in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for Democracy, the OpenSpending team collaborated with the Centre for Public Interest Advocacy in Bosnia to produce interactive graphics of national and subnational budgets in Bosnia.
As part of the project OpenSpending:
<ul>
<li>Created visualisations of national, entity-, cantonal- and district-level budgets for Bosnia.</li>
<li>Conducted onsite trainings and capacity building workshops with organisations from other Balkan countries, on getting, wrangling and presenting financial data (with OpenSpending and other tools).</li>
<li>Developed a tax calculator for Bosnia (similar to the <a href="http://wheredoesmymoneygo.org/dailybread.html">Daily Bread</a>).</li>
<li>Tested the <a href="http://openspending.org/resources/handbook/ch001_introduction.html">Spending Data Handbook</a> and added an <a href="http://community.openspending.org/help/guide/">OpenSpending guide</a> with a more technical guidance, for those organisations wishing to do more ambitious data work.</li>
</ul>

#### OpenSpending Slovakia
In early 2013, we launched <a href="http://slovakia.openspending.org">Slovakia Openspending</a>, prepared in collaboration with transparency and anti-corruption watchdog <a href="http://www.transparency.sk/">Transparency International Slovakia</a>. The site contains budget and expenditure information gathered from some 20 cities across Slovakia allowing users to examine current municipality budgets and compare them to expenditures going back to 2009. Based on the openspending.org source code, we have added several improvements such as:
<ul>
<li>Year-on-year comparison for spending categories.</li>
<li>Improved listing and more contextual presentation of the data.</li>
<li>Embedable graphic drilldowns with accompanying tables.</li>
</ul>
Transparency Slovakia hopes to promote the site as an example of how budgets could be made more accessible and comprehensible to the public once the site is localized and tested further. While not in its current plans, additional spending data and a feature to allow users to compare cities would improve opportunities for doing crowdsourced benchmarking.
#### Where Does My Money Go?
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 3em;" title="WDMMG original" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7088/7315252358_7dae93b263.jpg" alt="" width="250" />
<a href="http://wheredoesmymoneygo.org/">Where Does My Money Go?</a> (WDMMG) is the project from which OpenSpending was born. Funded originally by 4IP, it allows UK citizens to examine where their taxes are being spent through an interactive 'bubble tree' visualisation. They can even find out how much they contribute on a daily basis through their taxes to various sectors of society through the <a href="http://wheredoesmymoneygo.org/dailybread.html">Daily Bread</a> app.
You can now build a site like WDMMG for your own country using the OpenSpending API and the WDMMG Toolkit:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wheredoesmymoneygo.org/">Visit the Where Does My Money Go? project</a></li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/wdmmg">Follow Where Does My Money Go? on Twitter</a></li>
<li><a href="http://blog.openspending.org/2012/02/16/thekit/">Read more about how to create your own Where Does My Money Go?site</a></li>
</ul>
#### Cameroon Budget Inquirer
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 2em;" title="Cameroon Budget Inquirer" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8340/8287000485_4daf7d73da_n.jpg" alt="" />
We collaborated with the World Bank to produce a citizen-friendly representation of <a href="http://cameroon.openspending.org/">Cameroon's budget</a>.
The project incorporates the open-source 'bubble visualisations' first seen in Where Does My Money Go, as well as many new elements, such as a map based navigation and heatmaps. The project includes:
<ul>
<li>Visualisation of the National Investment Budget, the Northwest region's budget of Cameroon (including absolute and per-capita estimates, budgeted as well as actual figures) as well as a similar visualisation of the Tignere local council budget.</li>
<li>A sub-national budget transparency index - similar to the work of the International Budget Partnership, but at sub-national levels. This highlights the availability of key budget documents and ranks regions on their availability.</li>
<li>Explore the data: filter the data by categories such as amount, location, and activity.</li>
</ul>
#### OffenerHaushalt
<img class="pull-right" style="margin-left: 1em;" title="Offener Haushalt" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7077/7315281352_2c00d928d8.jpg" alt="" width="250" />
<a href="http://bund.offenerhaushalt.de/">OffenerHaushalt</a> allows users to explore and drill down through the various layers of Germany's federal budget, comparing data from as far back as 2006. Through the new TreeMap visualisation, the user can easily see and explore the different departments and programmes and see how much is spent, proportions and statistics on changes between years.
The success of OffenerHaushalt and the demand to roll it out on a local level was one of the prime motivations for the creation of OpenSpending. To date, the OffenerHaushalt team have received around 90 requests for a similar site in their area.
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bund.offenerhaushalt.de/">Visit the OffenerHaushalt Project</a></li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/offenerhaushalt">Follow OffenerHaushalt on Twitter</a></li>
</ul>
#### Uganda Aid Visualisation
Aid flows often do not pass through a recipient government’s conventional budget mechanisms. When this happens, recipient governments themselves may not have the complete overview of where aid money goes and how donor priorities align with their own. This information is vital for governments and aid donors to be able to make the best use of scarce resources.
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 1em;" title="Uganda Aid" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8159/7315314386_7940819de6.jpg" alt="" width="250" />
Normally this overview is not available – leading to waste, overlap and inefficiency. The lack of comparable information means aid donors and recipient country governments can’t work together to coordinate their efforts or understand how donor priorities align with recipient priorities; it decreases developing country governments' ownership and undermines the potential for good governance and planning. Donors and governments need to know what others are doing - and crucially, what others are planning on doing - if they are to make sure that these resources are used most effectively. Otherwise, some sectors and areas will not receive enough funding, while others may have too many donors involved.
The Uganda Aid visualisation project was a joint project between the OKFN and Publish What You Fund to combine two key types of fiscal data, revenues from aid together with spending information, and present them together in an informative way for the first time through an interactive visualisation.

</ul>
#### IATI
The International Aid Transparency Initiative is a common format for publishing aid information. 29 signatories representing 75% of global Official Development Finance have committed to reporting timely information about their aid activities in this standard format. Already, 13 signatories representing 45% of ODF have published.
<img class="pull-right" style="margin-left: 1em;" title="IATI" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8007/7315331330_4dafe5ea48.jpg" alt="" width="250" />
IATI publishers release the data as open data feeds in a common XML format through their own websites. They then register their data with the IATI Registry - which runs on the Open Knowledge Foundation's CKAN software - making it easy for users to find this data.
However, the nature of IATI as a distributed collection of raw data feeds also presents a challenge to non-technical users. The Open Knowledge Foundation worked with Publish What You Fund to transform the data into a format suitable for import into OpenSpending, where the data can be much more easily visualised and analysed.

## Tools for governments
#### Data.Gov.Uk Spend Browser
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 2em;" title="Reporting Tool" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5523/9045231550_505140b175_n.jpg" alt="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5523/9045231550_505140b175_n.jpg" />
The OpenSpending team worked with Data.Gov.Uk to build the <a href="http://data.gov.uk/data/openspending-browse">transaction explorer</a> which forms part of the Data.Gov.Uk website.
The transaction explorer allows any user to directly search the OpenSpending database for companies, departments or projects of interest and investigate how much money was spent on them.
#### UK Government Spend Reporting Dashboard
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 2em;" title="Reporting Tool" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8443/7980196066_d4aa29eb0d_z.jpg" alt="" />
The OpenSpending team worked with Data.Gov.Uk to produce an automatic reporting tool to demonstrate which government departments were complying with their transparency obligations.
The <a href="http://data.gov.uk/data/openspending-report/index">tool</a> lists departments registered as data publishers on data.gov.uk and details how precisely they have followed the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-publishing-spend-over-25000">HM Treasury reporting guidelines</a>. It will also make the whole of the reported data available for search and analysis both on <a href="http://data.gov.uk/openspending">data.gov.uk</a> and on the OpenSpending site.
<a name="gov-use-cases"></a>
## Government use cases
#### City of Bologna
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 2em;" title="Open Dati Bologna Tool" src="http://dati.comune.bologna.it/file/field/image/open_spending_pic_bologna.png" alt="http://dati.comune.bologna.it/file/field/image/open_spending_pic_bologna.png" />
The open data team at the City of Bologna uses OpenSpending to visualise several years of <a href="http://openspending.org/bp_2012_entrate/views/table-of-aggregates-bilancio-di-previsione-2012-entrate">the city budget</a>.
#### City of Berlin
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 2em;" title="The budget for Berlin city" src="http://stefanwehrmeyer.com/img/blog/2013/02/budget-berlin.png" alt="http://stefanwehrmeyer.com/img/blog/2013/02/budget-berlin.png" />
The City of Berlin asked Open Knowledge Foundation Germany to visualise the budget for the city using OpenSpending. The result is featured on the <a href="https://imperia9.berlinonline.de/sen/finanzen/haushalt/haushaltsplan/artikel.5697.php">site for the city finances</a>.

## Publications and Reports
#### Technology for Transparent &amp; Accountable Public Finance
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 2em;" title="TTAPF" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8031/8002530046_fe4354f76a_m.jpg" alt="" />
The report, <a href="../../resources/gift/">“Technology for Transparent and Accountable Public Finance”</a>, was commissioned by the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency (GIFT) in February 2012 in order to assist GIFT in assessing the potential of technology to aid transparency and accountability in relation to governments’ fiscal activities.

#### Mapping the Open Spending Data Community
<img class="pull-right" style="margin-left: 2em;" title="Spend Report" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7414/8881834696_4176e6d2ea_m.jpg" alt="" />
In early 2012, we set out on a mission. Our aim was to establish how CSO's currently work with spending data, how they would like to use it, and what they would like to achieve - including:
<ul>
<li>what existing tools are being used</li>
<li>what current technical needs are unmet</li>
<li>what would be required to meet these needs and how feasible is it to tackle them</li>
</ul>
This <a href="../../resources/mappingcommunity/">report</a> is the output of that research. Here, we bring together key case studies from organisations who have done pioneering work in using technology to put government data to best use.
In this report we:
<ul>
<li>outline how the data could be improved in order to make it more usable</li>
<li>examine some key case studies of how organisations are using technology to do groundbreaking research, citizen engagement, visualisation and tracking of accountability.</li>
<li>talk about the training needs for CSO's to help them better use the data available, and to demand better data.</li>
</ul>
Read the <a href="../../resources/mappingcommunity/conclusions/">conclusions</a>.

#### The Spending Data Handbook
<img class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 2em;" title="Spending Handbook" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7449/8754377372_77aed9107e_m.jpg" alt="" />
The <a href="../../resources/handbook/">Spending Data Handbook</a> is addressed to people and organisations who want to use and understand government budgets and spending data in their work.
The book covers:
<ul>
<li>Collaborating with other organizations to pool resources and strengthen your advocacy effort</li>
<li>If you're just starting out, what data to look for and what to ask for (nay, demand!) from your government</li>
<li>The 'Data Pipeline': Tricks and tips for finding, wrangling and systematically processing your data</li>
<li>Getting ambitious, running a technology project</li>
<li>Presenting your findings to engage the public, media and government</li>
<li>Lists and appendices of technical and non-technical resources</li>
</ul>
<a name="standards"></a>
## Standards
#### [Draft] Standard for Transaction-level Spending Data
The release of transaction-level data (i.e. information about individual disbursements or contract spending) is a relatively new idea, compared to the release of higher-level accounting information or budget overviews. The availability of such data allows for fine-grained analysis and oversight of activities and will, in the future, enable anyone inside or outside of government to reconstruct key reports from raw data. In order to perform these types of analysis, it is often necessary to combine spending information from several sources - either for completeness or comparison.
Too often, standardization in this context appears to be supply-driven: every publisher wants to express the full range of data they hold and are willing to release. Necessarily, such an approach leads to a standard that is the superset of all the systems that feed into it.
Such designs tend to be of little use to the intended consumers, as they raise the barriers to understanding the information considerably. Our approach therefore is to generate demand-side use cases first, ensuring that everything that is done will generate value for data users.

## Stories and Data Journalism
#### The Guardian (UK)
<h4>The Real Price of the London Olympics</h4>
<a title="olympic-guardian by anderspedersenOKF, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/94746900@N06/8915659698/"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2806/8915659698_60f3b70eed_o.png" alt="olympic-guardian" /></a>
The Guardian used OpenSpending's bubbletree visualisations to answer the questions: Where is the Olympics money coming from - and where's it being spent? How much is coming from sponsorship - and how much does the Olympic stadium cost?

#### Le Monde (France)
We experienced an extremely high traffic spike when a visualisation based on French data was featured in Le Monde in October 2012.
The article <a href="http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2012/10/16/plf-des-avions-au-bouclier-fiscal-la-java-des-amendements_1776093_823448.html?xtmc=depenses&amp;xtcr=52">PLF : des avions au bouclier fiscal, la java des amendements</a>, (PLF=Projet de loi de finances, the draft finance law) deals with suggested amendments to the draft finance law and which parties were demanding what amendments.
The OpenSpending visualisation used in the article is intended to give a high-level representation of some of the main areas of government expenditure in France.
#### Politiken (Denmark)
<a title="politiken" href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5339/9044797934_366b1d8914_m.jpg"><img class="pull-right" style="margin-left: 2em;" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5339/9044797934_366b1d8914_m.jpg" alt="politiken" /></a>
Municipalities are central for the functioning of the welfare state Denmark. They take care of a range of important tasks like social- and health care, primary education, social benefits, traffic and much more. Even in a year with local elections, however, they do not attract much public attention. The open data web agency Buhl-Rasmussen developed a site of all 98 Danish municipalities for one of the biggest Danish news sites, Politiken.
#### Sumy News, Ukraine
<a title="politiken" href="http://sumynews.com/data-journalism2/budget-economy/item/4726-byudzhet-m-sumy-na-2013-rik-openspending.html&lt;br /&gt;

On December 26, 2012, Sumy City Council approved the city budget for 2013, but there were big concerns about how it would be executed.
The expected revenues for the coming year did not appear to match the planned output, as Sumy would have to have generated 15.7% more than the expected revenues in 2012....

#### Privacy International
In early 2012, Privacy International approached the Spending Stories team to ask for a search widget to be able to search across all of the government spending datasets held in OpenSpending. They had a list of companies which exhibited at the famous surveillance technology conferences in the US, the so-called Wiretappers' Ball, as well as a list of attendees of the conference, and they wanted to check which attendees also became customers of these companies.
<img class="pull-right" style="margin-left: 1em;" title="Caelainn Barr" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7213/7315271184_921d9ed606.jpg" alt="" width="250" />
Some attendees posed no surprises – the FBI, the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the UK Serious Organized Crime Agency and Interpol to name a few – but there were a few that are downright baffling, like the US Department of Commerce, the US Fish &amp; Wildlife Service and the Clark County School District Police Department.
As more datasets are loaded into OpenSpending, this universal search will get increasingly more powerful, and we look forward to hearing what other people use the search for.

During the International Journalism Festival in Perugia in 2011, the OpenSpending team loaded and visualised the Italian regional accounts for 2008. The project received wide coverage in the Italian and International Press and was one of the earliest success stories for OpenSpending after Where Does My Money Go? went international.

title: Frequently Asked Questions

#### What is OpenSpending?
OpenSpending is about Mapping the Money.
The aim is to help track every (public) government and corporate financial transaction across the world and present it in useful and engaging forms for everyone from a schoolchild to a data geek.
What [OpenStreetMap](http://www.openstreetmap.org/) does for geography, OpenSpending does for money. OpenStreetMap has mapped the world in unprecedented levels of detail, harnessing the power of thousands of volunteers who each contribute data for their little corner of the world. However, as far as we know, there is no 'global atlas' of spending, no integrated, searchable database which would be a valuable resource for policy-makers and civil society alike. We want anyone to be able to go to their local council or national government, request the data, upload, understand and visualize it and contribute to this 'spending commons', which anyone can benefit from.
#### What is the relationship to Where Does My Money Go?
Simply put, OpenSpending is the international version of [Where Does My Money Go?](http://wheredoesmymoneygo.org/) (WDMMG). WDMMG used interactive 'bubble trees' to show the UK Taxpayer which spending sectors their tax money is put towards as well as having an interactive tax calculator to let users see for their level of income, how much they contribute to various spending areas through their taxes.
##### Platform vs. project
After the success of [the original project](http://jonathangray.org/2007/04/02/where-does-my-money-go-project-proposal/), it became clear that there was need for an international platform to allow people to build such sites at scale. Where Does My Money Go? was remodelled to become an instance of OpenSpending: the data is stored in the central OpenSpending database, and a custom frontend was developed using the OpenSpending API. Anyone can create one just like it, with their own branding at their own URL.
#### Can anyone contribute?
Yes! Whether you are interested in international, national or local data, you can contribute, work with and visualize it. See [How can I get involved?](../../help/development/volunteer) for the various ways you can get involved.
#### How can I get involved?
The team has worked hard to make it possible to load and visualize your own data, translate the software and even build your own custom front-end sites like [Where Does My Money Go?](http://wheredoesmymoneygo.org/)
Whether you are technical or non-technical, whether your aims are advocacy, journalism, better policy-making or just making pretty bubbles to help people understand your country's budget, there are plenty of ways to get involved. And don't be shy - if you spot a way to get involved that we haven't thought of, please don't hesitate to let us know.
See the [get involved](../../help/development/volunteer) page for more information.
#### What kind of language support do you offer?
We currently provide language versions of the OpenSpending platform in Greek, Indonesian and Italian. We expect to enable French as well as other languages in the near future.
You can help translate OpenSpending into another language at our [Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openspending/).
#### How are you funded?
OpenSpending is a community-run project, but it would not be able to exist without the generous support of many organizations. See [this page](../funders/) for more information.

title: The Fiscal Data Package
redirect_from:
- "/about/governance/"
---
The Fiscal Data Package is a lightweight and user-oriented format for publishing and consuming fiscal data. Fiscal data packages are made of simple and universal components. They can be produced from ordinary spreadsheet software and used in any environment.
The motivation behind the fiscal data package was to create a specification which is open by nature - based on other open standards, supported by open tools and software, modular, extensible and promoted transparently by a large community.
It is designed to be simple to use - providing a small but flexible set of features, based on real-world requirements and not theoretical ones. All the while, the built-in extensibility allows this spec to adapt to many different use cases and domains. It is also possible to gradually use more and more part of this specification - thus making it easier to implement this spec with existing data while slowly improving the data quality.
A main concern of this specification is the ability to work with data as it is currently exists, without forcing publishers to modify the contents or structure of their current data files in order to "adapt" them to the specification.
#### The Open Fiscal Data Package serves two main purposes:
Standardizing the structure and the content of fiscal data so that tools and services can be built over it for visualization, analysis or comparison;
Driving data quality by providing a solid framework of publication.
So the Open Fiscal Data Package specifies the form for fiscal data and offers a standardized framework for the content.

The Open Society Foundations support community building work around Open Spending Data. With this project we aim to help more groups and individuals around the world to use and work with spending data more effectively to do the things they care about – whether this is investigative journalism, evidence based policy-making, political campaigning, budgeting or creating new useful applications and services.
In particular, we would like to document and spread best practices in the legal and technical aspects of reusing public information, and enabling re-use and better collaboration around this material.

### What is OpenSpending?
OpenSpending is a free, open and global platform to search, visualise and analyse fiscal data in the public sphere. With OpenSpending, Open Knowledge Foundation created the opportunity for governments, civil society organizations and communities to publish and visualize their revenue, budgets, spending and procurements data in an open source platform.
The OpenSpending platform consists of a core platform with a large, centralised database that allows for deep analysis across a range of datasets. It is designed, developed and maintained by Open Knowledge Foundation. At the same time, OpenSpending offers tools that enable to establish an ecosystem around fiscal data, which is tailored to the specific aspects and local contexts the data is embedded in.
As an open source and a community-driven project, also reflects the valuable contributions of an active, passionate and committed community.

title: Adding a resource to the library
authors:
- Mor Rubinstein
lang: en
section: meta
---
<p>Our resource library is a curated collection open data reosurces from across the community. Everyone can add a resource to the library. This is how to do so.</p>
<h2>1. Add a folder</h2>
<p>Log in to github and head to the following <a href=https://github.com https://github.com/{{ site.github_username }}/tree/gh-pages/resources> link: </a></p>
Every resource has a slug number. To add your resource, you need to give it a number. Look at the list and give you resource the number that follows the current last number in the list (e.g - if the number is 056, your resource should be named 057).
Click on the + sign in the directory line and add the number and a “/”. For example: 060/.
<h2>2. Add an index file</h2>
<p>Click on the + sign again. Add a file named index.md to your new folder.</p>
<h2>3. Add the resource</h2>
<p>In the text editor, add the front matter fields in this pattern:</p>

title: Adding a term to the glossary
authors:
- Mor Rubinstein
section: meta
---
<p>Each glossary (meaning, each translated instance of the glossary), has three components:
<ul>
<li> A layout template for the glossary homepage: 'glossary.html'</li>
<li> A layout template for the glossary in each language: 'glossary/{lang}/index.md'</li>
<li> A directory of the glossary terms. Each term in the directory is listed as the url slug (In English, all lower case letters, and hyphens instead of white spaces).</li>
</ul>
<p></p>Currently, the English glossary has been updated and organized. Other languages please follow these <a href=http://new.opendatahandbook.org/contribute/translate-glossary/>instructions</a>
To add a new term, all you need is to have a Github account.</p>
<h3>1: Create a folder for the term</h3>
<p>Log - in to Github and go to this <a href="https://github.com/{{ site.github_repo }}tree/gh-pages/glossary/en/terms">link</a></p>
<p>You will see a the branch name (“gh-pages”) and a directory. You will also see the breadcrumb <code>{{ site.github_repo }} / glossary / en / terms / + </code>. Click on the "+" to create a new folder.<p/>
<p> Write the name of the term that you want to add in a new slug (In English, all lower case letters, and hyphens instead of white spaces) and add a “/” at the end of the terms name. This will create a new folder name. </p>
<h3>2: Create a file for your term</h3>
<p> Now you will see the breadcrumb - <code>{{ site.github_repo }} / glossary / en / terms / your-new-term / + </code> Click on the “+” sign again. Now write in the path “index.md”. This will save the whole file as a markdown file. </p>
<h3>3: Write the term definition </h3>
<p> In the text editor below, add the front matter (Jekyll way to mark the page) - </p>
<pre>
---
section: terms
lang: en
title: // the term name //
---
</pre>
Write the term definition after the front matter as usual.
<h3>4: Make a pull request</h3>
<p> Click on “Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request.” This will allow us to review your changes. <p/>
<p>Thank you! All done! If the handbook editors are happy with your term, it will be added to the glossary. </p>

title: Adding a page
authors:
- Sam Smith
section: meta
---
<p class="lead">Most of what you need to know to add a new page is covered under ‘<a href="{{ "/meta/contribute/editing/" | prepend: site.baseurl }}">Editing a page</a>’, so make sure you have first read through that section.</p>
<p>Adding a page follows a similar process to editing. Instead of locating your page, your first step is to locate your new page’s parent directory.</p>
<h2>1: Create the page</h2>
<p>First locate the parent directory, or folder, in which your file will live. If you are adding a page to the "Get Involved" section, for example, you should be in the '<strong>get-involved</strong>' directory, where you’ll see a list of all the pages related to contributions.</p>
<p>Above the list of pages is a breadcrumb trail <code>{{ site.github_repo }} / get-involved / </code>, to the right of which is a plus symbol <code><strong>+</strong></code>. Click the plus symbol to create your new page.</p>
<h2>2: Name your file</h2>
<p>You should now have a new file editor page open. The first editable section you are presented with is the ‘<em>Name your file</em>’ field. As we touched upon when looking at <a href="{{ "/meta/contribute/editing/" | prepend: site.baseurl }}">editing files</a>, the file name corresponds to the URL of the page on the site. There are a few of rules to follow here:</p>
<ul>
<li>The file name should reflect the title of the new page</li>
<li>Must be unique</li>
<li>Should be all lowercase</li>
<li>Words should be separated by hyphens (-)</li>
<li>File name should end with the extension '<em>.md</em>' (the .md extension indicates a markdown file)</li>
</ul>
<p>As an example, if you were creating a page titled '<em>My Cool Page</em>', you would use a file name of:</p>
<pre>
<code>my-cool-page.md</code>
</pre>
<p>Assuming you are creating this in the '<em>get-involved</em>' directory, this would result in a URL of <em>{{ site.url }}/get-involved/my-cool-page</em></p>
<div class="note">
<h6>Note</h6>
<p>The actual words used in your file name are not crucial. It’s fine to use a more succinct version of your page title, for example.</p>
</div>
<h2>3: Formatting your content</h2>
<p>This step is the same as when editing a page. You need to start your file with the Front Matter, then add your content, formatting it using Markdown. Here is a template to get you started:</p>
<pre>
<code>---
title: My Cool Page
authors:
- Fred Bloggs
---
##A large introductory paragraph.
Regular paragraphs, separated by empty lines.
###A heading
Another paragraph.
* Maybe
* a
* list</code>
</pre>
<p>When you’re done, click ‘<em>Propose new file</em>’.</p>
<h2>4: Make a pull request</h2>
<p>Once you have created your page(s) and updated the contents document, you're ready to make your pull request. Click the pull request icon to the right of the screen <code class="icon-git-pull-request"><span>[git pull-request icon]</span></code>, then click ‘<em>New pull request</em>’.</p>
<p>At the top of the resulting comparison screen, you’ll see a row of select boxes. You want to make sure these are configured like so:</p>

title: Editing a page
authors:
- Sam Smith
section: meta
---
<p class="lead">If you haven’t done so already, the first thing you need to do is head over to <a href="https://github.com/" rel="external">Github</a> and create your free account.</p>
<p>There are three steps to editing a page. First you need to locate the page you wish to edit. There are a couple of ways to do this. <strong>Method A</strong> is probably the simplest, and most likely way you’ll do it. <strong>Method B</strong> will serve as a primer for the next section: <em>Adding a page</em>.</p>
<h2>1: Locate the page</h2>
<h4>Method A: Browse the website</h4>
<p>While reading any section of the Handbook you’ll see an '<em>Edit this page</em>' link in the bottom left of the page. Following this link will take you directly to an editable version of that page. Easy huh?</p>
<div class="note">
<h6>Note</h6>
<p>When the editable page opens it will (most likely) contain a message saying <em>“You're editing a file in a project you don't have write access to”</em>. If this is your first edit to The Open Data Handbook it will say <em>“We've created a fork of this project for you to commit your proposed changes to”</em>. This is normal and part of the workflow.</p>
</div>
<h4>Method B: Browse the Github repository</h4>
<p>The entire file structure of this site can be browsed on Github. For example, the root of the site is <a href="https://github.com/{{ site.github_username }}/{{ site.github_repo }}" rel="external">here</a>, and the English language handbook section is <a href="https://github.com/{{ site.github_username }}/{{ site.github_repo }}/tree/gh-pages/en" rel="external">here</a>. It’s helpful to understand that the page URLs correspond to the file structure you see here. So, if you wanted to edit the Handbook introduction page, given that it’s URL is <code>{{ site.url }}/<strong>en</strong>/<strong>introduction</strong>/</code> we know this file can be found in the <code><strong>en</strong></code> directory with the filename <code><strong>introduction</strong>.md</code> <em>Note: the extension (.md) is stripped from the URL.</em> Following these links you should see a preview of the page you wish to edit. From here click the edit icon <code class="icon-pencil"><span>[pencil icon]</span></code> to start editing.</p>
<div class="note">
<h6>Pro Tip!</h6>
<p>Press <code>t</code> on any tree or blob page to launch the file finder.</p>
</div>
<h2>2: Make your changes</h2>
With the editable content in front of you, you’re probably either thinking “great, let’s get editing”, or “hang on, this looks a bit weird”. In case it’s the latter, let’s have a closer look.
The first thing to recognise is the ‘Front Matter’, which will look like this:
<pre>
<code>---
title: Introduction
---</code>
</pre>
<p>The front matter must be the first thing in the file, must adhere to the above syntax, and must be set between triple-dashed lines. Numerous variables can be set here, but you’ll usually just need <code>title</code>. The title set here will be used as the main heading for the page, as well as in the browser tab.</p>
<p>The other important thing to recognise is the Markdown syntax. For example, where you see a line commencing with two hash marks:</p>
<pre>
<code>##Do you know exactly how much of your tax money is spent on street lights?</code>
</pre>
<p>This is the Markdown way of creating a level two heading. On the site it will be outputted like so:</p>
<h2>Do you know exactly how much of your tax money is spent on street lights?</h2>
<p>Another common formatting requirement is bullet points, or lists. These are achieved in Markdown by using asterisks, like so:</p>
<pre>
<code>* civil servants
* journalists
* politicians</code>
</pre>
<p>giving you:</p>
<ul>
<li>civil servants</li>
<li>journalists</li>
<li>politicians</li>
</ul>
<br>
<p>Links are created like so:</p>
<pre>
<code>Give your data a home at the [Datahub](http://datahub.io/).</code>
</pre>
<p>result:</p>
<p>Give your data a home at the <a href="http://datahub.io/">Datahub</a>.</p>
<div class="note">
<h6>Pro Tip!</h6>
<p>To get a link to a specific heading on this site, hover over it then click the section icon <code class="icon-section"><span>[section icon]</span></code>. This will put the URL into your address bar.</p>
</div>
<p>More Markdown examples can be found <a href="{{ "/meta/contribute/markdown-examples/" | prepend: site.baseurl }}">here</a>, and a more detailed overview <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax" rel="external">here</a>.</p>
<p>If you are unsure of your markup while editing, you can switch to the preview tab <code class="icon-eye"><span>[eye icon]</span> Preview changes</code> to see how it will be rendered.</p>
<div class="note">
<h6>Note</h6>
<p>The Github previews will look stylistically different from the live site. A different font will be used for example.</p>
</div>
<p>Once you are happy with your changes, add a summary of what you've changed in the field below the editable text. Then click ‘<em>Propose file change</em>’.</p>
<h2>3: Make a pull request</h2>
<p>You will now be presented with a ‘pull request’ form. So far, the changes you have made are to your own copy, or fork of the handbook. A pull request simply sends a request to the authors/maintainers of the live handbook, asking them to include your changes - and put them live! Add any comments you have for the handbook team, then press ‘<em>Create pull request</em>’.</p>
<p>Your work here is done :) If you need to make related changes though, any new commits pushed to your branch will automatically be added to the pull request.</p>

Thank you for your interest in in helping to build the OpenSpending
community site. We warmly welcome comments, corrections and additions,
as well as suggestions for additional sections and areas to
examine. For general discussion about
[OpenSpending](https://openspending.org/), please visit
[our forums](https://discuss.okfn.org/c/openspending). To jump in with
improvements and additions, read on.
## How this site works
In order to contribute, you need a little insight of how things work
under the hood. We’re not going to go into too much detail here, but
these are the three components you need some understanding of:
- GitHub
- Jekyll
- Markdown
### GitHub
#### What is it?
GitHub is a web-based repository hosting service, which amongst other
things offers revision control and source code management via a
web-based graphical interface.
#### Why should I care?
Any changes you wish to make, whether they be edits to an existing
page, or creating a new one, will most likely be done via the GitHub
website (it is also possible to download and edit the files on your
local machine, instructions for this method will be added in the
future). All the files for this site can be browsed and edited the
GitHub website. You will need to [sign up](https://github.com/) for a
(free) GitHub account. For full instructions, see
[Editing a page](./editing/).
### Jekyll
#### What is it?
Jekyll is a static site generator, which allows us to host websites
based on our GitHub repositories. Jekyll takes the content, renders
Markdown, and produces a complete, static website ready to be viewed
on the web.
#### Why should I care?
All you really need to know about Jekyll is the method it uses to
include metadata (ie. page title). Each page needs to start with a
section it calls Front Matter, containing the page title. An example
is provided in the [Adding a page](./adding/) section.
### Markdown
#### What is it?
Markdown is a markup language with plain text formatting, designed so
that it can be converted to HTML. Markdown can be used to create rich
text using a plain text editor.
#### Why should I care?
Markdown is your key to formatting the text your provide for this
site. By learning a few intuitive rules you’ll be able to ensure your
text is formatted with headings, list, quotes etc, without writing any
HTML. For examples, head to the
[Markdown]({{site.baseurl}}/meta/contribute/markdown-examples/) section.

title: Translating the glossary
authors:
- Mor Rubinstein
section: meta

<h2> What's new in the glossary</h2>
<p>In the old version of the handbook, the glossary was one page with all of the term in it. In the new version, we gave each glossary a webpage for better referencing and linking.<\p>
Glossaries that were translated in the old version of the handbook have been transfered to the new site. Please checkCheck if your language has an old version of the glossary -
. You can find them <a href=https://github.com https://github.com/{{ site.github_username }}/tree/gh-pages/glossary> here </a>
<h3><b>If you do have an old version translated, follow these steps:</b></h3>
<p> The old glossary format does not allow linking from the new version of the guide, and you will need to transfer the term to the new format.</p>
<h3> 1. Create a new folder for the term</h3>
<p>Under your language folder, Follow the breadcrumb trail <code>{{ site.github_repo }} / glossary / es /</code>, to the right of which is a plus symbol <code><strong>+</strong></code>. create a folder for each term by pressing on the '+' sign and type the term name in English. The folder names should be in lower-case letters with dashes ‘-’ instead of white spaces. Add a ‘/’ in the end of the name to create a new folder.</p>
<h3> 2. Translate the term</h3>
<p> open a new index.md file by clicking on the '+'. </p>
In the text editor below add the front matter:
<pre>
---
section: terms
lang: en
title: Bulk
---
</pre>
<p> Change the 'lang' field to your language code. Change the title to the term title in YOUR language.</p>
<p>Below the front matter copy the term from the old glossary.</p>
<h3> 3. Make a pull request.</h3>
<p>All done! Keep doing this until all terms got their own folder and page.</p>
<h2><b>If you have never translated the glossary before, follow the these steps:</b></h2>
<h3> Copy the English Glossary</h3>
<p> Copy the English terms directory into your target language directory in the glossary folder. This step can not be done through the Github website and you will have to fork the handbook for you machine. Information about forking and cloning can be find <a href=https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/>here</a> . Notice, some languages have already been moved and translated. Check the folder to make sure you are not overwriting someone’s work.</p>
<h3>Edit the term</h3>
<p>Choose a term and open the index.md file.</p>
<p>The front matter looks as follows:</p>
<pre>
---
section: terms
lang: en
title: Bulk
---
</pre>
<p>Change the lang field to your language code.</p>
<p>Change the title to the term title in YOUR language.</p>
<p>In the text editor, below the front matter, enter your translation to the term.</p>
<h3>3. Submit changes through a pull request.</h3>
<p> All done! Thank you for your help! </p>

title: Translating the guide
authors:

section: meta

Translating the guide is easy, no need to any other software, all you need is a github account!
Some languages already have translated version of the guide. If you don't have a version in your language, here is how to do it.
<h3> 1. Create a new language folder </h3>
In github, under the breadcrumb - <code>{{ site.github_repo }} / guide/</code> there will be a '+' sign. Click on it and enter your <a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes >your two letter languages code</a>. Add a dash ('/') after the two letter to create a folder.
<h3> 2. Create a page folder</h3>
Now you will see you languages code and a '+' sign on the breadcrumb. Add a the page name that you want to translate in __English__ and add a dash at the end.
<h3> 3. translate the content</h3>
You will now see a new '+' sign. Add the file name 'index.md'.
In the text editor add the following front matter:
<pre>
---
section: guide
lang: Your language two letter code
title: The title in your language
---
</pre>
Translate as usual.
<h3> 4. Create a pull request</h3>
If all good, we will add it to the site.
Repeat for other parts of the guide if needed.
That's it, you are all done!
Thank you for helping us to make the guide accessiable to others!

The steering group oversees the project and represents its major stakeholders. This group takes responsibility for maintaining the integrity of the project, setting project policies, representing the project in relation to third parties etc.
The steering group's specific responsibilities include:
* **Finances**: overseeing and managing (where relevant) any project finances and resources.
* **Branding**. Overseeing Twitter account, website, etc.
* **Recognition** of satellite sites as part of the OpenSpending community and use of the OpenSpending name.
* **Partnerships** and collaborations with other communities and projects.
* **Setting policy** for data licensing and other matters, as necessary.
* **Advocacy guidelines**, as appropriate.
* **Legal matters**: for example, removal of datasets
## Meetings
The Steering Group meets approximately once a quarter via an online conference call.
The [living minutes of the OpenSpending Steering Group are online](https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1jCB-RquGYeW9mm466ViucMRjggbCxa0pGZDH5JThcRc/edit).
## Appointment of the Steering Group
Anyone who has contributed to the OpenSpending project (whether in code, data, or content) may put themselves forward for membership in the steering group. The existing steering group members will consider the application and decide whether or not to accept. In the future, once the concept of OpenSpending membership is better established, this decision may be made by a vote among OpenSpending members.
Membership in the steering group is for a term of two years. Multiple consecutive terms are permitted. If members resign during their two-year term, nominations for a replacement will be solicited from the community.

### [OpenSpending Viewer](https://openspending.org/s/)
The OpenSpending Viewer is a Javascript app that provides views over data uploaded to OpenSpending. It offers 8 different visualisations and a pivot table for analyzing the data
### [OpenSpending Packager](https://openspending.org/packager/)
Via OpenSpending Packager fiscal data can be uploaded from alternate sources (csv, Excel, Google Sheets and Fiscal Data Package). Data and metadata can be uploaded in 4 simple steps.
### [OpenSpending Admin](https://openspending.org/admin/)
OpenSpending Admin offers the possibility to administer a user account and the associated data packages that have been loaded to the platform. You can access it from the main Packager or Viewer once you create an account.
### OpenSpending DataMine
The OpenSpending DataMine is an experimental feature for investigative analysis of data with direct access to read any part of the database. This feature can be used (and it is encouraged!), but currently it is not subject to further customisation.
## What kind of data can I upload to OpenSpending?
OpenSpending is designed to work with any dataset in CSV format containing government budget, spending information or any other fiscal data. To upload this data, we use data pipelines and the Fiscal Data Package. We recommend learning a bit more about it, even if you're not part of the technical team uploading the data.
