Dear all, Happy to bump into this mailing list. Is anyone interested in a meetup in Mumbai - the last one I searched was almost a year ago?
A quick intro: We had participated in the recent Planning Commission hackathon. When we saw the data.gov.in site, we realized that there must be a better way to visualize all this data. So we came up with http://codeformumbai.org (repository: https://github.com/codeformumbai/data-gov-in). The goal is to create a data portal that can merge all the datasources based on some heuristics (here is a start I did for the data.gov.in files: https://github.com/codeformumbai/data-gov-in/blob/master/build_db.py). I was able to map almost 60% datapoints to timeseries and 30% to a region. And this is just the start - there is the awesome devinfo census database. Would also love to find ways to map election data into this so that it could be useful in the up coming elections. Also if we can map the governance architecture (governments, departments, ministries, institutions) then it will make for even interesting analysis. Since I am a newbie in this field would love to meet more experienced folks, get ideas for visualisations, share datasources, tools. If there are any similar projects (did not find many so far) please let me know. best regards, Rushabh -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
