Double Bill: The Center for Technology & Civic Life PLUS: Power Q&A querying too
Details
We have a double billing next month! First, the Center for Technology & Civic Life is an organization that focuses on helping cities and towns open and use their data. They have a strong focus on election and voter data. They have just relocated their headquarters from Washington D.C. to Chicago. Let's hear what they are all about and look at their cool tools.
Speaking of cool tools, we will also have Mike Shelton from Microsoft talk to us about Power Q&A. The only way I can describe this is that it is natural language querying tool that allows you to ask a question in plain English about your data. Q&A interprets your question and immediately serves up the correct answer —in the form of an interactive chart or graph. And these visualizations change dynamically as you modify the question. You have to see it to get it. So come see it.
