[Okfn-ca] Open Data Census - Call to Action | Recensement de données ouvertes - Appel à contribution

Fri May 31 21:02:13 UTC 2013

Greetings all;

I just filled out the survey for the Company Register, Statistical and for
Public Transport for Canada.  The survey is a bit difficult to fill out for
countries that are federations as data are available at multiple
jurisdictions necessitating a close reading of the notes and comments.  I
added many qualifiers in the notes which are not available for viewing.

I would have liked to been able to review or add comments to the
Environmental Pollutants entry and to add a another URL to qualify what was
submitted.  Also, for the Elections data, there are election results for
provinces and territories as well as municipalities and school boards.  I
was unable to access the notes to qualify this.

As for public transit data, these exist for only some jurisdictions but the
survey questions provided did not allow for that nuanced perspective, I did
however provide notes which do not appear.  This is a major limitation as
the top answer is only part of the response.  Any chance of making the
notes available?

I think this is a very interesting initiative, but would have liked to have
been able to nuance or qualify or add to submitted responses, would like to
see the notes.

I think we need to be cautious with the current Canadian responses as they
are incomplete (http://census.okfn.org/country/).

Does anyone want to give a go at the *Government Budget response*?  It is
the only one left.

Sincerely
Tracey
