My FOI requests

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/user/alex_skene

WhatDoTheyKnow stuff

Trying out Semantic Mediawiki stuff

  • I installed the Semantic Bundle for Mediawiki to:
    • host local non-PDF copies of the ICO & IT decision text & metadata. Google isn't allowed to spider the IT website decisions...
    • be able to automatically re-use this data in other pages (eg the FOIA Exemption pages) using Functions
  • ICO decisions can now be directly linked to, eg:
  • 30/04 - now have a form to add in decisions: Form:DNSummaryBox
  • 30/04 - and a category for them: Category:ICO_Decision_Notice
  • 01/05 - they're now all uploaded, but Special:ImportCSV doesn't seem to support importing multiple templates which means that only 1 decision has been added. may look to denormalise relationship between DN & 1-many Decisions, ie into single template.
  • 01/05 - ick. re-generated all the ICO data as xml, but found a bug in ImportXml (due to way it implements php's xml_set_character_data_handler and it barfs on ampersands "&" in the XML....
  • DNFindingLookup - page to hold DNFinding > DNSubFinding mappings to make searches easier
  • 03/05 - more bugs found in the importxml - it skips long strings, £ signs, etc... Leaving it as it is for the time being (I've reported the bugs to the dev) - the only thing wrong with the ICO data loaded is the Summary text. All the rest is OK, so good enough for searches & display of the main case data on other screens.
  • /scratchpad
  • 05/05 - have discovered that CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privilege required for bits of SMW... Checking with hosting co if they can grant. (see Special:UnusedProperties for example of error message. This causes problems with searching by sub-property or sub-category...
  • 06/05 - http://www.web-mania.com support have come up trumps and have granted me the privs :-) Sub-properties now included in FOI Exemption pages.
  • 15/05 - re-imported ICO DNs via ImportCSV, using the workaround specified here. This fixed the Date bug & the truncation issues.
