[okfn-za] Stress testing the system

Tue Aug 13 08:05:19 UTC 2013

Adi,

That's great news, do you have any further details on it, who's putting it together, how far along it is etc?

I would like to get access to the property valuations roll for the City. It's ostensibly available online (in bits and pieces) as well as in the paper archives, so it's already public data, but not readily accessible in bulk.

Hi All  

The Western Cape Government as well as the City of Cape Town are  
currently working on an open data policy. Yay!  

We've decide that rather than writing the (possibly out of touch with  
reality) policy, we will first start to stress the system but seeing  
where the flaws are. Then the policy will be written in an iterative  
fashion in order to focus on the most important areas.  

I'm playing Mr Mission Impossible but trying to get data from both  
institutions and writing up the case studies in order to poke holes in  
their existing policies and capacity to respond to requests.  

I'm soliciting suggestions from you for what data you would like to  
get from the City/Province if you could. I have some ideas but it  
would be great to get the community behind it.  

Thanks  
Adi
