Looks like some of the data sets are in PDF :-(
Is there any standard, to publish these data sets? If yes, why can't the governments, municipal corporations etc agree on publishing the data in that format? It would be much easier to build apps ...
- kevindication 17y agoA "Standard" to rule them all is probably a bad idea here, but I agree that PDF is really not appropriate for any data you'd like to process further. The datasets can really vary in terms of characteristics, so while XML might make sense for one, CSV might be completely appropriate for another. And that's perfectly OK with me, so long as they document the fields and how to parse it.
