Hi Jasvinder, I had posted earlier on exploring some technologies that could help towards such a platform. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/datameet/Xs8lYweKXeQ/2io96LKLBQAJ
I've been learning those technologies, and hope to get a pilot project rolling in the coming months. (if you want it too then connect!) In my analysis, there are two seemingly contradictory truths which are equally true: 1. Plenty of good platforms already there. 2. Lots of data that should get out there. Between those two I think there is room for a "data sandbox" kind of space. A nursery maybe. Where data that is still raw, "not quite ready" etc can come in and take time to mature, get time to work things out and prove its worth instead of being demanded that first. One site that's doing a lot in this regard is opencity.in started by some DM members and Oorvani Foundation. On my end, I'm fascinated by OpenStreetMap's variable-schema metadata model, the community curating it on OSM Wiki and the ease with which the Overpass Turbo portal facilitates mixing and extracting the data. So I want to extend that to non-cartographic data. -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ +91-966-583-1250 Pune, India Website <http://nikhilvj.co.in> DataMeet Pune chapter <https://datameet-pune.github.io/> Self-designed learner at Swaraj University <http://www.swarajuniversity.org> Contribute <https://www.instamojo.com/@nikhilvj/> On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 10:45 AM, Jasvinder Singh < jasvinsinghre...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Arun, > > Taking up your second interrogative first, actually the idea came from one > of the threads in the group itself. > One query was regarding Bus stops in a particular city.
