Review quality of GIFTS data #5

Open pmackay opened 9 years ago

pmackay commented 9 years ago

The initial GIFTS import was quick and focussed on demonstrating data could be imported and with a correct geographic location. Some improvements could be made:

Entries repeat the name in the (required) description field. Could a proper description be added?
There is no email, phone or other contact info than Address.
Need to consider if/how any service information gets mapped from OpenLocal or elsewhere.

@GilesGibson @GreenCChampion comments welcome

Will do re-import with as much data as possible.

I don't think GIFTS data will have been refreshed much since last dump so I think it is fine to go with what we already have

I've now done a re-import of GIFTS data with the taxonomy information associated with each record. I've used the terms to define the services that each org offers, which may not be the best fit but its obviously a compromise without building a better dataset.

See https://lambeth-services.herokuapp.com/locations/ace-of-clubs?keyword=&location=&utf8=%E2%9C%93 for an example. It shows categories down the side and a list of services below.

This is probably as much as its worth doing with GIFTS at this point.
