Project Abandoned | March 3, 2022
I abandoned this project in November 2021. I don't intend to develop this further or provide up-to-date data. I do not intend to answer merge requests. If you wish to use it, please just fork & do your own thing. If you want to link to a fork or another dataset like this, please submit an issue & I'll add it here.
The website LoveDecatur.com does still have some covid updates, but i haven't open-sourced them because it's extra work.
Thank you for your interest.
Updates
I will update the data every Tuesday & Friday. This note was written on September 21, 2021. (This note will not be regularly updated)
Data
You download data in the following formats:
- .ods: spreadsheet for libre office (a free alternative to Microsoft Office)
- .csv: Generic spreadsheet for any spreadsheet program
- .json: A format often used by software developers
- .sql: A programming language used with databases. These scripts are for creating a database of the data
- data.sqlite: The actual data compiled into a database file. Learn more about sqlite
Some additional source documents will be available in the /data/
folder, too. For Example, /data/mhs/ contains image releases from Memorial Health Systems.
Methodology
Most of the spreadsheets list the data source I'm collecting from. I manually convert from the source format into the spreadsheets I have. There is also a data-sources.ods
file that lists some of my data sources.
There may be mistakes. It's just me, on a volunteer basis, and no-one is verifying the data I put in, so typos or other human errors may pop up.
Software Developers
- The
.ods
conversion into all available formats is done with an open source library I made. Feel free to use it for your needs. - Let me know if you have questions or ... whatever. Open an issue or get me on Twitter @TaelufDev
- See /README-Developers.md for more development information
