Social Value Measurement and Indexing

数据绩效咨询(DPC)是一家有限责任公司，专门致力于改善与如何使用数据驱动方法在现有系统(即采购)上应用政策相关的社会成果。具体地说，新闻部在智慧城市部门内制定了工作流程，将城市的核心治理与城市空间内的应用程序设计和实施联系起来。DPC面临的一个关键挑战是如何通过引入影响的自动测量来扩展其工作流程。目前的工作流程是确定系统可以改进的领域，但这种联系往往是通过工作人员的人工干预来完成的。DPC的目标是转向一种自动化模式，这种模式需要将数据与组织结构和流程联系起来。要实现此DPC，需要专业的自然语言处理(NLP)专业知识来构建组织内的数据和实体/流程模型，以捕获关系，从而实现基于知识的自动化操作处理。哈特里中心是NLP的国家中心，与他们合作应对这一挑战的机会是这一申请的动机。这将使DPC能够创建可扩展和可重复使用的模型，这些模型可以链接到数据，以便能够自动衡量社会结果。

Data Performance Consultancy (DPC) is a limited company specialising in improving social outcomes related to how policy is applied on existing systems (i.e. procurement) using a data driven approach. Specifically DPC have developed workflows within the Smart City sector linking the core governance of a city to application design and implementation within the urban space. A key challenge DPC faces is how it can scale its workflows by introducing automated measurement of impact. Currently the workflows, identify areas in which a system can be improved, but often this linkage is done by manual intervention of staff. DPC aims to move to an automated model which requires linking data to organisational structures and processes. To enable this DPC requires specialist Natural Language Processing (NLP) expertise to build models of data and entities / processes within organisations to capture relationships, enabling knowledge based automated processing of actions. The Hartree Centre is a national centre for NLP and the opportunity to work with them on this challenge is the motivation for this application. This will enable DPC to create scalable and reusable models that can link to data in order to enable the automated measurement of social outcomes.
