PROBLEMS IN THE DATA QUALITY
      BECOME VISIBLE

THINGS YOU WOULD EXPECT
ARE NOT NECESSARILY THERE




              Spending of ministers for all departments

                             © FFUNCTION INC, 2013        WWW.FFCTN.COM
... BUT IS THIS DUE TO THE DATA OR
DO FEW MINISTERS FILE EXPENSES?

SCRAPED DATA                TIME CONSUMING


IS NOT                      NO QUALITY ASSESSMENT

OPEN DATA                   FEW/NO UPDATES




               © FFUNCTION INC, 2013          WWW.FFCTN.COM
SCRAPED DATA                Scraped data cannot be
                            used for analysis, and
IS NOT                      the development effort
                            can be wasted if the
OPEN DATA                   data is not published later.

CHICKEN & EGG
                       Do we have to wait for
                       open-data to be
                       published, or do we go




?
                       ahead with scraped data?



                       CONTINUITY
                       If so, will the government
                       commit to opening up the data
                       if an application is built by
                       citizens on their own free time?
