Epic - Data gathering (Collect More Data/Track)

sforsyth089 commented 2 years ago

We need to clearly understand the risks/considerations involved in adding more data to our solution. We'll then determine any follow-ups.

Data Gathering: We'd love your help! Data.Source.Inventory.Open.Sentencing (1).xlsx

Please go ahead and edit

Anyone of any skill level can help!

Start with brainstorming a list. We can work as a team to take action. Consider a clear tracking spreadsheet or other method to ensure we've identified and cleared all risks.

In researching data, make edits to the Excel sheet. Think about the following to track.

Ensure data is free of cost
Ensure legally we are not hitting any issues in using our data. Is IBM legal still available to help as we add data sources?
Ensure any licensing rules are followed.
For this data, it may not be available. Sentencing data can be at various levels (city, state, county, Federal). We have to have a way to account for gaps as more is accumulated.
We need a way to start with what we can find, and build from there. (Ex start with Cook County, Federal, then gather more)
Data management - Do we have a method to store/manage/and maintain quality coming in from various sources?
Ensure unexpected bias is not present in the data.
Ensure data coming in has enough info/quality for it to be useable. Do we need a data governance process to ensure we trust the data and new data as it comes in?
Ensure data is handled in a secure manner.
Determine the most automated ways to update data as refreshes are available.
Can we avoid malicious users from editing our data?

I can draft a check list of our requirements by source. (with preferences and some history of the data)
