Data Journalism. Work session (III)

We will devote this work session to open data and open government, by reviewing the data websites offered by Barcelona City Council, learning how to extract data from these websites in order to work with them and visualise them.

4.30 p.m. - 5.15 p.m. // Open Data and Open Gov at Barcelona City Council

"Over two years ago now, Barcelona City Council launched the Open Data Barcelona project, to make the administrative data generated through municipal activity accessible for everyone. This project forms part of the City Council’s Open Government strategy, which consists of opening more data and improving their reutilisation, with the aim of generating economic activity that reuses or exploits these open data.

In the more practical part of this session, the data of Open Data Barcelona will be analysed, to learn how to work with them and how to obtain more from them.
