Open Spending Data Structure: Ideas and Suggestions

Classification schemes and types

  • As a data producer, I want to have a structured way to declare economic classification of my data, in addition to functional classification, so that I can tell unique stories with the data that are not possible via functional classification
  • As a data consumer, I want to look at a budget via economic classification if it exists for that budget, so I can get a cross section overview of things like salary expenditure, or interest rates on existing loans, as a percentage of the total budget.
