[open-government] "Open Government Data Standard 2.0" (DRAFT)

Tue Jun 14 23:03:59 UTC 2016

Hi Andreas & Alex,

If it helps, I published the main calculation in "American" - meaning in actuarial terms which American citizens won't have to learn (my fellows are a grouchy bunch when asked to preform an actual specification reading ritual).  The fact is that although the United States is by many measures a young country it is for governmental accounting a respectably old representative democracy over-layed on a former set of colonial subdivisions.

It is easy enough to make a perpetual calendar "Data Base" ...
2016|
[21st Century, 2nd Decade of the Century, 7th Year of the Decade]|
[241st Summer of Independence, 228th Year since Founding Constitution]| (Midsummer Serialization=Northern Hemisphere)
[57th Presidential Election, 4th Year of Office]| (Presidential Election held every four years)
[114th Congress 2nd Session]| (A Congress, 2 one year terms with elections held every two years)
State of the Union Address / Annual Report|

The cardinality of the institution anniversaries is arbitrary.
If you want to virtualize, by which I mean publish your supposed start years, you can.

Germany will have to add 239 to their version number (2.0) but the rest of the EU will have to add 241 to catch up. :)

For every year, the result is a balance sheet "form" with a 17 unit long [A ... Q] vector to fill it:
2016Annual Report: 	Monthly Reports 	Monthly Reports 	Monthly Reports 	Quarterly Reports 	Annual Report
2016:1st Quarter 	C 	                        D                       	E                      	B                       	A
2016:2nd Quarter 	G                      	H                      	I                        	F 	
2016:3rd Quarter 	K 	                        L                       	M                      	J 	
2016:4th Quarter   	O 	                        P                       	Q                       	N
                                ============================================        =============      ==========
Column
Sum = {3 Gov Years}                           {1 Gov-Year}                                                       {1 Gov Year}          {1 Gov Year}

Q: So who is putting Schrödinger's Cat on trial 17 times a year ?
A: Schrödinger's Cat's Tax Accountant.
