Open Economics Code and Data

The Open Economics code base and data is kept in a subversion repository at: http://knowledgeforge.net/econ/svn/. You can also browse it here in trac, see: browser:/trunk. All data (+ related code) is kept in the data/ subdirectory. All other code is contained in the 'econ' package. Main parts of this include:

  • www/ -- code for running website including front-end to data store
  • data/ -- utilities for manipulating data
  • model/ -- code for manipulating, analysing etc various economic models

Uploading Datasets to the Data Store

To upload datasets to the Open Economics data store (http://openeconomics.net/store/) you proceed as follows:

  • Install subversion
  • Check out the econ subversion repository from: http://knowledgeforge.net/econ/svn/trunk (hereafter denoted TRUNK).
  • Request write permissions to this repository by emailing: info [at] okfn [dot] org
  • Create a new data bundle: bin/econ-admin bundle create
  • This should have created a new subdirectory in ./data/ with a uuid for a name.
  • Go to that directory edit the metadata.txt (look at other metadata files for the kinds of fields to add)
  • Add in your data.csv file (or other data file)
  • svn add {your-new-data-directory}
  • svn ci {your-new-data-directory}
