Yes. I'm pretty lost with it too! For example, looking at first table on expenditure [1] I'm mystified by what DEL and AME are (they are not explained in the footnotes). I'm thinking of uploading this stuff to a google docs spreadsheet so it can be added to and commented on. Regards, Rufus [1] <http://www.openeconomics.net/wdmmg/spend> PS: I already have some code to grab the PESA stuff, extract the data and shove it in a DB (link into mercurial repo): <http://knowledgeforge.net/econ/hg/file/tip/econdata/ukgovfinances> _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
