[OpenSpending] Spending Data Handbook: the draft is out!

Wed Nov 21 18:11:04 UTC 2012

Dear Lucy,

thank you for your reply. We would like to introduce the case of
http://www.publicspending.gr where there is also the possibility of
recording, processing and mainly presenting each and every payment, related
on direct spending from public sector organisations to individuals. The
presentation is made through a simple search form through the individuals'
names or their VAT registration number. Of course, this is not against any
privacy violation, since our processed data are derived from governmental
actions/announcements towards transparency.
It might be interesting for the readers of the handbook to be refered as a
initiative. If you believe so, please kindly inform me how we can
contribute.

Best Regards,

Ioannis
