@HimmelStein that's great. Could you try prepping some sample CSV illustrating what tables you think would get generated out of this and then either paste the raw CSV sample, or, better post to a gist or somewhere online and drop in the DataPipes link http://datapipes.okfnlabs.org/ (see http://okfnlabs.org/blog/2013/12/05/view-csv-with-data-pipes.html)
For what it's worth, there's a parser for this that I started hacking up a while back here: https://github.com/civicdataeu/eu-budget-scraper - unfortunately, the XML is very complex and I found it impossible to make a good CSV equivalent without answering some additional questions about the structure of the EU budget process. It's also made harder by the fact that this XML looks to be made as a pre-print processing stage, not an accounting document.
It would be really cool to get this right, though!
here is the web link
@HimmelStein thank-you - btw here's the datapipes version (I've also used webshot to get a screen grab of that and inlined below):

@HimmelStein any thoughts on the questions here?
A bunch of the rows have no amount - how come?
this is due to the structure of the XML file. Just think of an xml file as a book, which has chapters, sections. The financial data sets appear only in sections. If we map each chapter and section into csv lines, those chapter lines have no financial data, and appear as empty.
Could you provide descriptions for the various terse column names - e.g. what is the @alias and the @id (what were those columns named originally?)
they are attributes in the xml file
Did you have any thoughts on @pudo's comments?
yes, we can work on it, and get it right, better with supports from domain experts.
@HimmelStein
it is better now.

is that what you want to see?
Yes, that looks great. Could I suggest you start a repo at https://github.com/os-data and we start putting some of this data in there and creating a Fiscal Data Package. I'm cc'ing @danfowler who can get you set up.
sure. my pleasure
@rgrp I've created an empty repo here: https://github.com/os-data/eu-budget-2014 @HimmelStein can you check if you have access?
@danfowler @HimmelStein has access to the os-data org in the openbudgets-team
team: https://github.com/orgs/os-data/teams/openbudgets-team
pushed there without datapackage.json file
Hi @HimmelStein, thanks for pushing! This looks great so far.
Looking through the data, I have the following comments:
exprev
) available. If you would like to package revenue as well, that can be done in the same dataset as direction of spend is now a property of a measure. In that case, you would have an expenditure column where exprev = "exp" and a revenue column where exprev = "rev".Alias
a classification? If so, it would be good to separate the coding by periods instead of spaces (see: http://fiscal.dataprotocols.org/spec/#classifications)bud-data
should have the same EpNote
(tho this is probably not relevant for packaging the data)p.m
refers to? It shows up where an amount figure would otherwise be.69 107 537,75
in the CSV for year nm2
and the amount for 2013 seem to be repeated having lost a figure on the end (e.g. 73 643 709 -> 73 643 70)Please let me know if that helps, and how I can help you move this forward.

thanks very much for your comments! I will work on it.
hi, here is a csv file transformed from http://www.apa.sk/en/index.php?offset=0&language=en&navID=50&euod=&eudo=&order=&
https://github.com/os-data/Beneficiaries-From-EAGF-and-the-EAFRD-in-Slovakia-2014
This dataset should be simpler than the EU2014 dataset above. Could you provide its datapackage.json file? http://datapipes.okfnlabs.org/csv/html/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fos-data%2FBeneficiaries-From-EAGF-and-the-EAFRD-in-Slovakia-2014%2Fmaster%2Fdata%2FSLOV2014EA_HTML.csv
Hi @HimmelStein, I see lots of duplicate rows for the CSV file pushed to /data/
. This made me wonder if there was another level of spending classification missing. But since I also see those in the source :wink: no worries. I can work up a datapackage.json.
Hi @HimmelStein, datapackage.json
pushed here: https://github.com/os-data/Beneficiaries-From-EAGF-and-the-EAFRD-in-Slovakia-2014/blob/master/datapackage.json
great!
@danfowler @HimmelStein can we close this?
@rgrp @HimmelStein I think we can. Any further questions specifically about the dataset should go into the issue tracker for it: https://github.com/os-data/eu-budget-2014/issues
an XML file may have several tables, e.g. http://open-data.europa.eu/data/dataset/budget-of-the-european-union-2014
should each table in XML be mapped to one FDP dataset (with .csv + datapackage.json), or all these tables mapped to a big sparse FDP dataset?
