[datameet] Twitter data

2020-05-20 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am working on building a sentiment analysis dashboard and would like to check 
if anyone is aware of good scraping tools that can gather tweets with the 
following information based on user input of keywords and location

1. Original tweet, number of replies, number of likes, number of retweets, 
location, twitterHandle, link to the tweet
2. Retweet, number of replies, number of likes, number of retweets, location, 
twitterHandle, link to the tweet
3. Replies, number of replies, number of likes, number of retweets, location, 
twitterHandle, link to the tweet

Any information would be helpful

Re: [datameet] Open Data Portal for smart cities

2019-05-13 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
The open data portal looks neat and the datasets are valuable.
The one challenge I see with the datasets is the lack of metadata and a 
standard glossary for the data to be used effectively.

In addition the Data Maturity Assessment Framework is weak as majority of the 
assessment is based on binary responses of a Yes/No

Not sure if the Maturity assessment framework is  open to feedback.. Can 
someone point me in the direction of who can we reach out to for fixing the 
Maturity assessment framework.

Regards,

Srinivas

Re: [datameet] Policy alert - NDAP National Data & Analytics Platform

2019-02-13 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
Naveen,

I had attended the pre-bid meeting and this has been something that NITI Aayog 
has been trying to do for a long time and the RFP has gone through multiple 
extensions and cancellations.

The problem is no one is looking at it as a data gathering exercise with 
policies and procedures. What Niti Aayog wants to do is a little tricky from a 
data collection perspective.

I have been trying to get to the right people for expanding the Data Policy to 
give guidelines to ministries and help put them data oon data.gov 
<http://data.gov/>.in and NITI Aayog can then use the data to conduct different 
analyses and even bring in AI and ML.

If the policy and guidelines can be established it will be a lot easier for 
data.gov <http://data.gov/>.in or NITI Aayog to build analysis and develop use 
cases.

Do we know who this was awarded to? As this is a managed service they are 
trying to build.

Regards,

Srinivas

Re: [datameet] Telangana Open Data Portal using DKAN, scope for querying data

2018-10-18 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
Nihkil,

I beg to differ with you on the geospatial aspect and the value of the 
datasets. They have only been publishing aggregated numbers for data that could 
be a little more granular. Like for example MeeSeva Transactions/Electricity 
connections to households etc.. The best example is the Police Stations dataset 
which is an aggregate number of police stations in a district which is of zero 
value in my opinion. The baseman of the state along with new district 
boundaries is not yet publicly available in machine readable formats.

I have been pushing them to publish granular data with little luck.

Srinivas

[datameet] Granularity of Open Data (Telangana State)

2018-02-05 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
Dear Data Meet,

I have been looking at and tracking the Open Data Portal of Telangana and fail 
to understand why only aggregated data is published and not granular data. I 
have written a note to the Telangana Open Data team and would like to enquire 
if anyone has the following datasets.

1. Banks (with GeoLocation)
2. Post Office (with geo Location)
3. Police Station (with geoLocation)
4. meeSeva centers (with geoLocation)
5. Electrical Sub Stations (with GeoLocation)

I am looking to gather this data to conduct an analysis on the proximity of 
services for people of Telangana.
Attached is a quick and dirty analysis done on the data published on the Open 
Data Portal which shows that certain districts have more domestic electricity 
connections than households.

Attached is the excel file and if you have the data hit me up

Regards,

Srinivas

Re: [datameet] 12th January Data Protection Committee Public Consultation in Hyderabad

2018-01-11 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
Is there a way we can push them to do an online consultation as well versus 
traveling to various places? 
I would like to participate in the feedback and possibly present the whole 
thing on Data Protection/ Privacy/ Classification of data and how it should be 
managed within Government entities. 

I am not residing in India and hence the challenge. If we can get the full

[datameet] Delhi Open Data

2017-10-12 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
Ladies & Gentlemen,

Does anyone know if the following datasets are published by Delhi Government in 
an Open Format
1. Delhi Metro Locations and routes
2. Delhi Bus routes and bus stops
2. Basemap of Delhi
3. Sensor information on Pollution
4. Traffic counts data

In watching the news on Pollution in Delhi and the discussions/debates on 
firecrackers, vehicles etc I would like to do a in depth analysis and plot it 
on a map and see where challenges exist. This analysis could throw some 
interesting perspective on tackling the pollution problem.

I have done similar analysis in Dubai around solving the traffic challenges and 
possible reasons for traffic on the main arteries in Dubai.

Srinivas

Re: [datameet] Open Data: Choking India’s Innovation Pipe

2017-06-23 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
Srini & members

The need is for a strong review mechanism of datasets classification as
open. It needs to be critically reviewed and the opening of data and
bringing transparency might hurt certain businesses if their practices are
not fair.

I strongly feel that there needs to be a federal level standards and
policies which can then be take. And states cities and muncipalities can
adopt and enhance.

Driving standards that are consistent across is very important

Re: [datameet] Telegana Open Data Policy and portal

2017-05-20 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
It's nice to have portal up and running on CKAN.

The datasets up there are purely information on counts and not the full
list that is geo coded.

Not sure of the value these datasets have and the innovation these datasets
can generate for the state of Telangana.

Also the license says not specified

Re: [datameet] India - Number of companies by employee size

2017-03-22 Thread Srinivas Karuturi

Hi Balaji,

You have the list of company master data on data.gov.in until March 
2015. The data has paid up capital and authorised capital in the 
dataset. I have written to the chief data officer asking to see if they 
can publish a consolidated india wide company master data.


I know you are looking for number of employees which does not exist on 
the master data.


If I may ask what is that you are trying to answer with the number of 
employees? A better way to determine the company size could possibly be 
the paid up capital or authorized capital.


Regards,

srinivas

Friend,

I am looking for a data like number of companies in India by
Employee Size.  Something like

1000+ employees – 3000 companies

2000+ employees – 1000 companies

5000+ employees – 200 companies

Any pointer would be a great help to me!!!

Thanks

[datameet] Re: State Election data

2017-03-14 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
I was curious about the data and looked at the number of people with voters 
at electoralsearch.in and it gives you the count of people with their names 
and father/husband name along with polling station.

The total records in electoral search and the total electorals on 
eci.nic.in has a difference. The difference is small but there seems to be 
a discrepancy

Is there a way we can pull the number of electors per constituency?

Regards,

Srinivas

[datameet] Introduction and Interests

2017-02-27 Thread Srinivas Karuturi
Dear Datameet group,

I am Data Management specialist and have been in the data space for over 12 
years in my 20 year career as a technologist. I am not a coder anymore and 
over the past year have been developing data policies and guidelines for 
the Dubai Data Establishment which is responsible for the Open Data program 
of Dubai.

I have been exploring India's open data portal and have been keenly 
following the developments on data in India.

I would like to see how we together as a group can push publication of open 
data on data.gov.in 
I have explored the datasets there specially from DOF and there is no 
granularity or geocoding of the spend on various schemes of the government.

Would like to see if we can start exploring means of pushing the data 
movement

Regards,

Srinivas Karuturi
