Open Data Sandbox

A sandbox for loose collaboration on assorted open data projects - [home]


Background

Background

Plot.ly offers very low barrier of adoption for government agencies who would like to easily visualize important data. This project seeks to collect a range of very simple recipes for formatted data and plot.ly visualizations that can then automatically represent them.

How to Contribute

For the purposes of this project, an important characteristic of plot.ly is the ability to easily consume a hosted data file by merely appending the dataset’s URL to a plot.ly URL, e.g. https://plot.ly/external/?url=http://www.socialsecurity.gov/open/data/fy12-onward-rib-filed-via-internet.csv.

The goal is to reduce any sample datasets down to a small but representative version of itself. If a working example is fed by a dataset with 10,000 rows but the example can just as readily be conveyed with a dataset that consists of the first 5 rows only, then reducing the dataset’s complexity, the example can be made all the more digestible and readily repurposed by new users.
