<h3>Mission</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the PDC is an information agency, we want to provide the public with a robust and friendly method of garnering data. We want our data gateway to be powerful enough to allow informed decisions about the financing of politics in Washington State. We envision data storage on the Washington State Open Data Portal (https://data.wa.gov). This accomplishes two tasks: it allows for integrating data from diverse sources and diminishes traffic on our internal servers.

|
|
We want to modernize the PDCs data retrieval processes to bring us more into line with current trends. Retrieval must be resilient under even the most arduous of conditions, including heavy usage during periods of intense analytics. The gateway must be robust and powerful enough for our users to make informed decisions about the financing of politics in Washington State.

|
|
|
|
We want the public, media, researchers, and casual users to discern the specifics about campaign financing by providing access to raw data, images of reports , and pre-built reports. The ability to create ad-hoc reports from an advanced search function and the ability to download data into dissimilar formats is a valuable strength.

Data must be current to provide meaningful analytics and maintained to reflect an accurate picture of the political environment in our state. We envision data storage on the Washington State Open Data Portal (https://data.wa.gov) to provide integrated data from diverse sources that is always available. We will develop a cutting edge analytical reports structure permitting charting, graphing, and drilling down to granular data if the user desires.

We want to provide the public, news media, researchers, and casual users the ability to discern the specifics about campaign financing by providing access to both historical data and up-to-the -minute searchable information. The ability to create ad-hoc reports and the ability to download data into dissimilar formats is a valuable strength. The meta data we provide should assist the user in a practical manner to garner information quickly and efficiently.
