May 25th marks not only European Paliament Election day but a ‘first time‘ for open data.
The European Parliament is making a range of tools available to make it easier for the media to cover the European elections on 25 May. The results and other relevant information will be available in open data format, enabling the media, bloggers and interested users to automatically retrieve the raw data and publish it directly on their online platforms within seconds.
This announcement means that journalists and bloggers (like me) will be able to automatically retrieve raw data and publish it directly on their online platforms within seconds – helping to transform the ways that the media can report on the elections, through the use of innovative visualations, graphs and illustrations.
Below is the real-time-updated Widget with Results from 2014 European Elections.
