[OpenSpending] Common Mapping Error

Fri May 24 07:45:34 UTC 2013

Ok thanks Tryggvi for your help,

Following your advices, I succeeded in creating the model.
See result here http://openspending.org/marches-publics-senegal/entries

It concerns Public Procurements in Senegal for the past 3 years.
We (Regards Citoyens & OKF France) have been working with a Senegalese team
during a workshop in Dakar.
@Anders interested in a blog post ?
