LongSpine Project

This small, static website is a write-up of the Longitudinal Spine of Government Functions project (LongSpine) which ran in the 2018/2019 Financial Year as part of CSIRO's Data61's Platforms for Open Data (PfOD) series of projects.

The purpose of this write-up is to explain some of the motivating facors behind the project, the methods employed during it and outputs from it so that it might have a continuing impact on Australian government data either through follow-on projects or through use of its techniques and tools.

See the About Page for more information on the project aim, teams etc.
