About DIGIWHIST
The original aim of DIGIWHIST was to build a platform that can analyze procurement data from 35 European countries in various languages. During the years, however, the list has been expanded with further countries from Africa and Latin America. In addition, a whistleblower platform has also been implemented during the project.
As part of the project, Precognox has collected public procurement data and processed them using the DIGIWHIST framework. Data from Tanzania, Romania, Poland, Mexico, Kenya and Uruguay have been collected so far, among other countries. Brazilian public procurement data is currently being collected.
In connection with the project, we perform the following tasks:
- collecting raw data from websites
- data cleaning and normalization, necessary software development
- data export in DIGIWHIST structure in json and csv formats
- custom software development: development of tools to support the process (eg “reverse-flatten tool” for converting CSV content to JSON format)
