Federal Spending Data Elements

From the webpage:

The data elements in the below list represent the existing Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) data elements currently displayed on USAspending.gov and the additional data elements that will be posted pursuant to the DATA Act. These elements are currently being deliberated on and discussed by the Federal community as a part of DATA Act implementation. At this point, this list is exhaustive. However, additional data elements may be standardized for transparency reporting in the future based on agency or community needs.

At this time, we are asking for comments in response to the following questions:

  1. Which data elements are most crucial to your current reporting and/or analysis?
  2. In setting standards, what are industry standards the Treasury and OMB should be considering?
  3. What are some of the considerations that Treasury and OMB should take into account when establishing data standards?

Just reading the responses to the questions on GitHub will give you a sense of what other community members are thinking about.

What responses are you going to contribute?

I first saw this in a tweet by Hudson Hollister.
