[open-development] Fwd: Exploring Senegal Public Procurements : how we turned PDF files into browsable data ?

Hi,

Just thought this "PDF to OpenSpending" tutorial we wrote would be also of
interest for this list.

Also cross-published on the Open Contracting Blog
http://www.open-contracting.org/exploring_senegal_public_procurements_how_we_turned_pdf_files_into_browsable_data

Hi All, I just shared a post on the Open Spending Blog on our exploration
of Senegal Public Procurements Data.

We explain in this tutorial how we turned PDF files released by
the Senegalese Authority for Public Procurement into a browsable dataset on
Open Spending. You will also find all the tools, scripts we used.

We hope this will be helpful in your own work.
