What kind of patterns would be interesting to find out in this dataset? A thought came in to my mind to do some data acrobatics and possibly publish a dashboard based on this data if I can arrange some extra time.. (didnt check any possible terms of use for the data yet)
- new299 9y agoIt would be interesting to be able to pick a company and then track the flow of goods to/from that company. For example, I was interested in a particular company so I looked them up, found shipments, searched another table for the shipper, and then googled to find out what they make. But being able to more easily navigate that would be interesting, who else does that supplier ship to? The shipments I saw looked kind of regular, but plotting them on a timeline, with weights, would give me a better understanding of what's happening. Can I correlate shipment sizes with earnings etc? I think there are lots of interesting things to look for.
