[wdmmg-discuss] Greater London Authority spending data

[Alistair Turnbull]

We've done a quick-and-dirty import of the GLA spending data into our 
software:

 	http://london.wheredoesmymoneygo.org/

For example, here is what they paid to Vodafone:

 	http://london.wheredoesmymoneygo.org/account/c988ca22-214b-47ef-af19-5fd3cfdc781b/postings

It's running at a different URL for the moment as you see. The eventual 
aim is to host both data sets at the same URL, but we want to be a bit 
more cautious about updating the main site from now on.

We're trying out a slightly different data model. The difference is that 
the Account objects really do represent organisations or parts of 
organisations. This means we have to put most of the meta-data on the 
Transactions instead of on the Accounts. We think this will make more 
sense for data sets where we can track money flows, e.g. COINS.

The UI has not been updated for the change of data model, so you will find 
that various things are not diplayed when you might expect them to be. We 
will fix the problems in due course...
