[Open-data-census] Gov Spending Data

Tue Oct 22 07:22:20 BST 2013

Hi Charlie, the definition given by the Open Data Census is the following

*Records of actual (past) national government spending at a detailed
transactional level, that is at the level of month to month government
expenditure on specific items (as an example, we would anticipate seeing
many individual records of spending amounts under $1m or even under $100k).
(Note: just a database of contracts awarded or similar is *not* sufficient.
This requires detailed ongoing data on *actual* expenditure)*
