Partnering with ODI to improve Frictionless Data
Sara Petti - January 12, 2021 in Frictionless Data, funding, News, Open Data
In the framework of the Open Data Institute’s fund to develop open source tools for data institutions, the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) has been awarded funds to improve the quality and interoperability of Frictionless Data.
In light of our effort to make data open and accessible, we are thrilled to announce we will be partnering with the Open Data Institute (ODI) to improve our existing documentation and add new features on Frictionless Data to create a better user experience for all.
To achieve this, we will be working with a cohort of users from our active and engaged community to create better documentation that fits their needs. Our main goal is to make it easier for current and future users to understand and make use of the Frictionless Data tools and data libraries to their fullest potential.
We know how frustrating it can be to try and use existing code (or learn new code) that has incomplete documentation and we don’t want that to be a barrier for our users anymore. This is why we are very grateful to the ODI for granting us the opportunity to improve upon our existing documentation.
So, what will be changing?
- We will have a new project overview section, to help our users understand how to use Frictionless Data for their specific needs.
- We will improve the existing documentation, to make sure even brand new users can quickly understand everything.
- We will have Tutorials, to showcase real users experience and have user-friendly examples.
- We will add a FAQ session.
