OECD Report & related data

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

This is the report that is making headlines in Canada (http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/social-issues-migration-health/the-causes-of-growing-inequalities-in-oecd-countries_9789264119536-en).  This is how reports should be shared with the public:

• You get a full PDF
• You get and interactive table of contents with the document also available by section in PDF and readable
• You get the tables available in xls and to read
• You get the graphs in xls which you can also read

When I go to open data portals, this is what I would expect to get.  All datasets should at least be accompanied by a methodological document which describes how the data were collected, how they were analyzed, sources, descriptions of the headings/classes, quality parametes well described.  Also all government reports should be in the portals with their accompanying datasets as this OECD report does.

Cheers

Major reforms to Canada’s access to information regime are proposed in a Private Member’s Bill tabled in the House yesterday.  The link is to the news story.  I haven’t yet found the text of the bill online, but I am sure it will be posted sometime today.
