Expand the scope of machine readable data beyond tabular formats #69

Open philipashlock opened 6 years ago

Topline Description

Machine readability is often only used to describe requirements for tabular data, but we should review the opportunity to expand the scope to include other types of information including reports, policy (including memos) , visual diagrams (including org charts), and other formats that have historically only been presented as printed documents or graphics.

Key Objective(s)

HTML is most always omitted from these machine readability conversations and/or immediately dismissed for a number of reasons that never apply universally. Like you said, "often only used to describe requirements for tabular data". Considering HTML is going to be the foundation for linked open data and the web of linked documents, expanding the scope of what is machine readable is the first thing to do in this process, to include valid, properly marked up HTML. From there, working those processes into SVG sounds ideal.

We do this. Reach out and ask Gov Rick Perry, he'll hook you up. Almost 4.5 years in stealth in ATX (12 FT coders).

You can see and play with it today :)

New markup readable by man and machines. Builds native mobile and browser simultaneously.

Actually meant to replace legislation itself. Think of elected officials making git commits sometimes daily.

So YES OF COURSE, the GSA needs to move our way.
