Elections data schema #22

Closed MikeThacker1 closed 7 years ago

MikeThacker1 commented 8 years ago

The LGA is leading work to produce a schema for CSV open data on election candidates and results. The main discussion is in the Knowledge Hub thread Election results schema second round consultation Aug-Oct 2016

The consultation overview document (PDF) is http://e-sd.org/dmKwu

The latest version of the schema description is http://e-sd.org/vgTJ3

Comments can go in the above forum or by email to transparency@local.gov.uk. Alternatively, I'll pass on anything posted here.

Hi @MikeThacker1 - has there been any update to this? Any schemas published?

MikeThacker1 commented 7 years ago

This is the Guidance Document issued by the LGA http://e-sd.org/vgTJ3

I've just been asked to put a representation in our CSV schema validator at http://validator.opendata.esd.org.uk/

I'll post here when that is up. I have a couple of related questions which I'll post here when the draft is up.

Hello

I don't think anyone has raised the LGA Elections Schema as a formal Challenge since the meeting with GDS on 2 Mar 2017. Should the LGA or I raise this as an issue in the same format Date-Times and Time-stamps Challenge and others?

Hello Mike, Thank you, yes please do use the 'new issue' button to raise the challenge. There's no obligation to then be the challenge owner.

MikeThacker1 commented 7 years ago

Thanks Lawrence. I've drafted an issue for review with LGA colleagues and hope to post really soon.

Raised as Schema for data on election candidates and results - Challenge.
