government registers / ärende #159

Open salgo60 opened 2 years ago

salgo60 commented 2 years ago

The feature

1) from govdirectory find the government registers 2) search in all goverment registers about a specific topic i.e. govdirectory is a hub that translate queries to the relevant language of the government and sends in a query 3) support also "non official" government registers like mentioned in Sweden below

Why?

Background: In Sweden www.datastory.org has built an application that makes it possible to search all government registers in Sweden. The request 1 is to make it more findable, request 2 is a vision, request 3 is to get this going also non official registers should be supported

Thank you for the link!

all government registers in Sweden

It's not clear to me what this service actually contains, it's definitely not all government registers in Sweden.

Edit: The "source" indicates that it's just the departments registers, which makes sense as these are open and easily accessible. Maybe we could find a way to link to each department.

This could fit after we solve #102.

But since this is not a global data source (right now only Sweden is available and the post don't mention expanding that), I don't think it has high priority.

That said, pull requests are always welcome!

Yeah, a property for register/diarium might be a very good addition, although I think there is an official registry search we could point to.
