5. Machine processable: Data are reasonably structured to allow automated processing.

6. Non-discriminatory: Data are available to anyone, with no requirement of registration.

7. Non-proprietary: Data are available in a format over which no entity has exclusive control.

Page Scraping

http://www2.parl.gc.ca/housechamberbusiness/ChamberSittings.aspx

Screen / page scraping: “is a technique in which a computer program extracts data from the display output of another program. The program doing the scraping is called a screen scraper. The key element that distinguishes screen scraping from regular parsing is that the output being scraped was intended for final display to a human user, rather than as input to another program, and is therefore usually neither documented nor structured for convenient parsing”.

The conversation has just started, and I hope we can mobilize our

national knowledge resources at all scales to collectively work on

resolving some of our toughest issues and to create a more open, inclusive

& collaborative culture.
