Israel State Budget in Open Muni Budget #82

It would be interesting to see what would be required to work with the Israeli State Budget data, inside Open Muni Budgets.

Open Muni Budgets has been written in a generic way to work with many budgets, not just in Israel, but there is a fundamental assumption - that the budget data follow some type of structure, what we call a template.

The Israeli State Budget is far from following a fixed structure.

However, there is a tagging system in use to follow changes of the budget over time, and, fundamentally, our implementation of Budget templates, is just a type of taxonomic structure, so it is not impossible.

Here is the latest dataset of the Israeli State budget, from Adam's project:
