Structured Budget Data: Best International Example

[Jennifer Bell]

Does anyone have any pointers to the best structured data format so
far for a federal budget? Are there precedents?

Hi Jennifer
for a federal budget overall I don't know, but certainly the RSS feed
for the stimulus programme is impressive.

I am very interested in this topic as per my article on benchmarking
eGov 2.0. http://www.epracticejournal.eu/volume/4

If we find good example it would be good if we use a common tag on
delicious or other sources so that we can aggregate them. We can use
"idealgovdata"

Secondly you surely know the W3C consortium is working on this

Thanks for the reply, David, that was useful.

On a related note - this showed up in the comments on my blog:
http://www.usgovxml.com/

While its origin is... opaque... it seems like a good resource.
Better than what's currently here:

My basic searching has turned up its owner as Robert Loftin of Asbury,
N.J., who apparently is a software developer that is associated with
Exim Services, a global freight forwarding country.

Either that, or the Internet lied to me.

I'm going to try to get in touch with Robert. This is a great resource!

Best,

Alexis
