  1. Open Indicators Consortium & WEAVE Technology Policy and Research Committee Meeting December 3, 2012

  2. WEAVE Overview • In 2010 EEC began working with the Open Indicators Consortium and Professor Georges Grinstein from UMass Lowell • Goals of this project include: • To enable data visualization of available data • Support greater organizational transparency and accountability • Increase access, distribution and use of public data • To increase data understanding and knowledge • To enable planning and accountability • To facilitate data dissemination and distribution

  3. WEAVE Stories • Three key topics were addressed as part of the WEAVE project: • Programs by location • Demonstrates how many early education programs are available within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts • Children statistics by location • Shows the distribution of MA children • Available Resources • Visualization of existing museums, parks and libraries will help connect families with recreational and educational options

  4. Data Currently Available for Weave

  5. Programs by location Licensed Center-Based Care • Demonstrates how many early education programs are available within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

  6. Children statistics by location Most At-Risk Communities in terms of maternal and child health • WEAVE allows the use of color coding to depict high concentrations of at risk communities

  7. Available Resources Libraries in MA

  8. Home Visiting 17 at risk communities Multiple Data Display Capabilities • WEAVE can show bar graphs, scatter graphs, and data lists on the same screen for comparison

  9. Conclusion and Next Steps • EEC developed a test site which displays a number of interactive visualizations using WEAVE • http://eec-tst-web-v01/EECDataMap/FirstPage.aspx • Static map images were placed on the EEC Website in November 2012 under ‘Data Visualization’ • http://www.eec.state.ma.us/Datavisualization/Firstpage.aspx#ad-image-0 • The WEAVE software will be uploaded to EEC’s Web server to get the full interactive visualizations functioning by January 31, 2013 • EEC will coordinate with UMass Lowell to ensure all web images are ADA compliant and data secure by January 31, 2013
