Big Data goes local - Community Data Explorer

Cybermoor和Swirrl正在合作，通过他们的社区数据浏览器产品，为农村社区开发访问、分析和使用开放数据的新方法。随着政府鼓励更多的社区控制其地方服务和资产，重要的是这些社区拥有最好的可用数据，为其决策提供信息。这一创新产品与社区合作，识别他们需要的数据，并开发出可视化的方式，使其尽可能具有说服力。这将Cybermoor获奖的数字社区参与方法与Swirrl在开放和可视化开放数据方面的专业知识结合在一起。该项目将确定社区中的优先数据集、获取数据、清理数据并开发API。我们将基于Swirrl的PublishMyData平台提供2个数据集的可视化，并评估社区如何参与其中。

Cybermoor and Swirrl are working together to develop new ways for rural communities to access, analyse and use open data through their Community Data Explorer product. As the Government encourages more communities to take control of their local services and assets, its important that these communities have the best available data to inform their decision making. This innovative product works with communities to identify the data they require and develop ways it can be visualised to make it as compelling as possible. This combines Cybermoor’s award winning digital community engagement methodology with Swirrl’s expertise in opening up and visualising open data. The project will identify priority data sets in the community, obtain access to the data, clean the data and develop an API. We will deliver visualisations of 2 data sets based on Swirrl’s PublishMyData platform and evaluate how community engage with them.
