Processes to automate

Christy Lam edited this page Nov 2, 2018 · 25 revisions

This page is meant to be a grab bag list of processes we would like to automate in the department. Eventually we will organize this list by priority order.

Please add your ideas here!

  1. Household survey data cleaning: a) smartphone traces b) web survey

  2. Jurisdictional data profiles (Chris will give a nicer moniker)

  3. Census data import (tables needed in Elmer)

  4. Assessor parcel/building data processing (part of UrbanSim baseyear creation)

  5. Script-callable geocoding & QC function (utilizing our services and others as helpful, e.g. Bing API)

  6. Geocoding services creation (from address datasets)

  7. Process to split OFM population/household estimates to granular geography (e.g. parcel)

  8. Annual covered employment dataset processing

  9. Annual all-jobs estimates creation a) non-wage & salary b) exempt corporate officers, presumed wage & salary

  10. LODES adjustment

  11. Annual permit data

  12. Refine block-splitting scripts/methodology a) fully automate sections requiring GIS b) develop input data format standards

  13. OFM April 1 published data for trends (population of cities and towns) a) cities and towns b) annexations
