Editor's Notes
- #3 Even when government data is “open” newsrooms don’t have access to developers in order to process that data Even when an NGO does the goverment’s job and processes the data, newsrooms don’t have designers and front-end engineers to publish it in their articles When they do have developers and designers, a lot of the stories are relevant for only a short period of time, so they don’t have the time to sift through vast amounts of data in order to visualise it and report on it
- #5 Parlameter automates parliamentary data collection, processing, and visualisation
- #6 6 programming langugaes, 4 different databases, more than 200.000 lines of code Parlameter automates parliamentary data collection, processing, and visualisation
- #7 Free as free speech not free as free beer
- #9 Let people pin-point to a certain piece of information.
- #11 Altough MPs work for us, it is a bit much to expect from people to follow all their moves on a designated website. Not everyone cares as much as members of this audience do. However, you can expect them to read their morning news ---> Unlike similar attempts, it doesn’t stop at publishing this on own website, but structures data into embeddable information cards
