reformat as BLDS Data Specification? #20

Open wilsaj opened 8 years ago

Just came across this BLDS Data Spec:

The Building & Land Development Specification (BLDS) is a standard for sharing open data on building and construction permits issued by municipal governments.

As far as I tell, this would just mean renaming the CSV values (example: permit_number -> PermitNum). Any tools or apps that get built on top of this common data format would be more reusable.

I added a cursory BLDS field map to the repo: https://github.com/open-austin/construction-permits/blob/master/BLDS-field-map.csv

I have some doubts but we can address them when it comes time to write up the Python.
