Hey Rob, This is great, really nice work! I'd also love to see the underlying data when it's ready, in whatever hackable format's easiest for you. CSV, RDFa, JSON, whatever :) How many of the entities in the data do you have Wikipedia IDs for? The incoming data formats sound like a huge headache. How are you finding Google Refine for the cleanup? Can you say a bit more about your workflow - is most of your custom cleaning happening mostly before the data hits Refine? cheers, Dan _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
