Census Time
Sunday, April 2nd, 2006 | Nick Bugajski
Say what you will about the government, but when they put their minds to it they can produce some very useful data. The folks at the Census Bureau in particular seem to be good at sharing their data in a way that is useful to people outside their organization. There is a possibility that that comes from their having been in this business for awhile…
The meta-data they provide along with the data is the key. This gives you insight into the process that produced the data, which is always important information to have when analyzing any data set.
