Government Stats and Facts: Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse Adds New Search Tools and RSS Feeds

The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) is based at Syracuse University and does independent/non-partisan research looking at federal enforcement, spending, and staffing.

Two announcements from TRAC today.
1) RSS Feeds for the new TRAC Monthly Bulletins.
You can also select to have the news of a new bulletin (about 100 feeds) sent via email. There is also one "overall" feed. Important and useful info for anyone interested in how the U.S. Government operates.

2) Next, the introduction of the "TRAC Data Interprete." From the announcement:

Obtain a bird's-eye view of the latest data available. You start by selecting whether you're interested in prosecutions, convictions or convictions which have resulted in significant sentences. As you choose your area of interest (federal agency, district, judge, program, detailed program or lead charge) the Interpreter will tell you how many cases there are in the most recent month, and how many more selections are possible in the areas you haven't explored yet.

Browsing in this way is completely free: you don't need to purchase a bulletin to find out if there's information at any level. While there is a modest fee for generating some of the "drill-down" reports, subscribers to our TRACFED data service will incur no additional charge. You can also use the Data Interpreter to access our free top-level bulletins on subjects such as white collar crime, immigration and terrorism, and agencies such as DHS, IRS or FBI.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
