FYI for those of you with expertise or who may want to team up with someone who does, in the area of charity, non profits, social enterprise and philanthropy.
Through this challenge, we’re looking for game-changing
ideas we might never imagine on our own and that could revolutionize the
field. In particular, we are looking for ideas that might provide new
and innovative ways to address the following:
-
Improving the availability and use of program impact
data by bringing together data from multiple organizations operating in
the same field and geographical area;
-
Enabling combinations of data through application
programming interface (APIs), taxonomy crosswalks, classification
systems, middleware, natural language processing, and/or data sharing
agreements;
-
Reducing inefficiency for users entering similar
information into multiple systems through common web forms, profiles,
apps, interfaces, etc.;
-
Creating new value for users trying to pull data from multiple sources;
-
Providing new ways to access and understand more than
one data set, for example, through new data visualizations, including
mashing up government and other data;
-
Identifying needs and barriers by experimenting with increased interoperability of multiple data sets;
-
Providing ways for people to access information that
isn't normally accessible (for using natural language processing to pull
and process stories from numerous sources) and combing that information
with open data sets.
