Dear all,

I am currently trying to find a map of wards in Delhi that would match the 
census data of 2011. I tried to join ward wise population data from the 
census website with a shape file I found in this group (see this page : 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/datameet/ward/datameet/1b_VhZ8leJE/dRhs5M3FprAJ).

Hi,

I've published a dataset containing all states, districts, assembly
constituencies and polling stations in India.

https://github.com/anandology/election-directory

Not sure if this is done before, but it has been a big pain to find this
info. Hope this will benefit some of you too.

Hi Saurabh, 

you might have a look at my dataset - it is of varying quality (because 
raw data from the ECI was), but perhaps it does what you need:

Solution

1. Allow creators to communicate to middleman
2. Middleman will publish the metadata and provide search engine
3. Users will use search engine

• Way to receive the that programatically
• Many things to Research
• Many things to Build

Quest

Research

• Put the idea in-front of the world - opendata.json – Format for making Open Data Discoverable
• Similar projects by US Gov, OK etc
• Adopt or start from the scratch - Clone or Fork FOSS way - Reuse - Discussions on Hackpad
• Standard Vocabulary by GoI
• Way to receive the that - Standard Ping (used by Google, Wordpress etc)
• Build when required else reuse

Format

• Forked - Project Open Data Metadata Schema v1.1
• JSON, JSONLD
• Well Researched, Public Domain, Already in use
