[OpenSpending] Formats for government budget data?

[Peter Krantz]

Hi!

For the first time the swedish government published the data for the
budget in excel for 2012 [1]. As you can see the format makes it a bit
cumbersome to use in e.g. a tree map (I had to tweak it a lot to make
[2]).

Is there any work going on to harmonize budget data publication in a
machine readable format?

Regards,

Peter
