State Sequester Numbers [Is This Transparency?]

Filed under: Government,Government Data,Transparency — Patrick Durusau @ 7:22 pm

A great visualization of the impact of sequestration state by state.

And, a post on the process followed to produce the visualization.

The only caveat being that one person read the numbers from PDF files supplied by the White House and another person typed them into a spreadsheet.

Doable with a small data set such as this one, but why was it necessary at all?

Once you have the data in a machine readable form, putting faces in the local community to the abstract categories should be the next step.

Topic maps anyone?
