Requirements

Datasets

All available datasets describing the beneficiaries of the European Structural and Investment Funds

Fields

All datasets should have the following set of fields:

• fund_name (string, codelist)
• funding_period_number (string, codelist)
• beneficiary_name (string, raw)
• project_name (string, raw)
• starting_date (date, cleaned*)
• approval_date (date, cleaned*)
• beneficiary_country_code (string, codelist)
• beneficiary_nuts_code (string, codelist)
• total_amount (number, cleaned*)

(*) cleaned = parsed, casted and verified

Requirements:

• Query per Fund ** Nomenclatura needed - check
• Clean Geographic Data ** Hierarchies for NUTS-codes (existing) ** Country, state, region, municipality, address ** Constants needed to be added to the data
• Clean Amounts ** Remodelling needed from differentiated and detailed amounts to one ‘total amount’ = fixed by remodeling?
• Clean Dates.

Make Sure dimensions and hierarchies are correctly modelled for the open spending viewer:

• Drill down for: Beneficiary, Activity.
• Drill down for: geographic regions, cities etc.
• Drill down for: Funds, Priorities (if possible)
• Drill down for: Dates: Period, Year, Exact date.

Basic normalisation operations needed: Currencies converted to Euro Dates to one standard format. Fund names to nomenclatura. Grouping of Beneficiary Names

Enrichment possibilities - Low Priority:

CCI Codes (lower priority) Type of company Translations

Back-end

The above data should be available on Open-Spending as:

1. Individual datasets (.csv data and .json datapackage)
2. Unified dataset (.csv data and .json datapackage)

Front-end

The website should embed Open-Spending iframes.
