postheadericon Competition: visualise open government data and win $2,000

What can you do with thousands of data sets open public? With

Google

and

Open Knowledge Foundation

launching a competition to find the best there DataViz. You might even win a prize

governments around the world have launched a wave of open data - all spending by crime and health. Now you can compare the data at national, regional and hundreds throughout the city places around the world.

But the good thing is that these data? We want to see what you can do with it. What are the applications and visualizations can be done with this information? We want to see how the data changes the way you see the world.

In collaboration with Google and the Open Knowledge Foundation (to help us evaluate the results), see if you can win the prize of $ 2,000.

All I want to do is take a set of data from open data government website open (a list of them at the bottom of this article) and displays it.

You do not need to be a programmer to participate in this contest - but we are always interested in new and innovative approaches to data visualization. Categories most important for us are the views that address the issue in a new way, mash up data sets with a large display unexpected and beautiful.

Feel free to use any of the links or find if they tell the story better.


Use your imagination: we consider the best ways to explore the data using the new methods that can be found. Use the tools of data visualization - or develop your own news. We want to be impressed - and polished

And very soon, we will make some incredible events in Google+ Hangouts to discuss competition problems.

The competition is open to citizens of the United Kingdom, United States, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden. The winner will receive $ 2000 and the result will appear in the data warehouse stored in our Show and Tell site.

Here are some important facts that we found (list below) - and do not hesitate to bring their own data for the game - just ask which is freely accessible and open as OpenDefinition.org .
