[okfn-discuss] UK: Tell Parliament What Data You Want | Workshop

[Steven Clift]

If you are aware of other parliaments and legislatures participating in
gatherings like this with the data interested public in other countries,
please let me know: clift at e-democracy.org

This could be a model for parliamentary/legislative engagement around data
outside the UK too.

Thanks,
Steven Clift

The Parliamentary Digital Service is holding a workshop to help inform the
next iteration of a data service for Parliament. Here're the details:

____________________________________________________________

Tell Parliament what data you want

When: 7pm, Thursday 20th October

Where: Newspeak House, 133 Bethnal Green Rd, London, E2 7DG

RSVP: https://attending.io/events/parliament-data-workshop

A recent report by the Open Data Institute recommended that Parliament
focus on its data rather than building new tools.

There is a community that already exists - you! - that is building tools to
make the business of Parliament appeal to normal people.

Parliamentary Digital Service has started to build the next iteration of a
data service for Parliament. How can we make it better?

   - What would you like us to do to so that you can appeal better to
   normal people?
   - What data do you want from Parliament so that you can serve the user
   needs that you know about? Or the user needs that Parliament can’t (or
   shouldn’t) serve?
   - How do you use data from Parliament at the moment (if at all)?
   - What formats do you want?
   - What data from other organisations would you like to link Parliament’s
   data with?
   - How should we communicate what we are doing?

People attending from Parliament:

Dan Barrett - head of data and search - @dasbarrett

Samu Lang - technical lead

Michael Smethurst - data architect - @fantasticlife

Julie Byrne - development lead - @julietouring

Ganesh Senthi - product manager - @gansenthi

Rebecca Appleyard - software engineer - @rklappleyard
