<h1>About</h1>
<p>The Trafford Data Lab supports decision-making in Trafford by revealing patterns in data through visualisation. We are committed to publishing open data and using open source tools to encourage a transparent and reproducible analytical workflow.</p>
<section>
<h2>Our principles</h2>
<h3>Clarity</h3>
<p>We strive for an economy of style in all of our data visualisations. We've designed a <a href="https://medium.com/@traffordDataLab/developing-a-data-visualisation-style-cd24f88fa59" target="_blank">Lab theme</a> that maintains a consistency of output and we have restricted the number of typefaces and colour palettes used. All of our visualisations are designed to work across platforms: print, desktop, and mobile.</p>
<h3>Openness</h3>
<p>We are committed to the publication of open data because it helps promote transparency and increase trust. We aim to ensure that all the open data we publish has a minimum <a href="http://5stardata.info/en/" target="_blank">3-star</a> openness rating. Our data must be accessible on the Web in a machine readable non-proprietary format, published under the <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/" target="blank">OGL v3.0 licence</a> which permits anyone to reuse it.</p>
<h3>Reproducibility</h3>
<p>We are strong advocates of reproducibility: the ability to copy methods and achieve similar results. We have adopted a completely reproducible workflow by using open source code (R, JavaScript etc.) and publishing it on <a href="https://github.com/trafforddatalab" target="_blank">GitHub</a>, a software development platform. Our code is published under the <a href="https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT" target="_blank">MIT licence</a> and other programmers are welcome to fork any of the repositories containing our code and adapt it for their own purposes.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>What we do</h2>
<p>We publish data and visualisations to inform citizens and those responsible for decision making in Trafford.</p>
<p>The Lab is using <a href="https://cran.r-project.org" target="_blank">R</a>, an open-source programming language for statistical analysis to import, tidy, transform, visualise, model and communicate data. R is central to the Lab's workflow because it provides an efficient and reproducible way of working that encourages both openness and collaboration. We also code in javascript, particularly using the <a href="http://leafletjs.com" target="_blank">Leaflet</a> and <a href="https://d3js.org" target="_blank">D3</a> libraries.</p>

<p>You are free to use our outputs however you wish. All we ask is that you preserve any attributions which are present and include a link to the <a href="LICENSE.txt">Trafford Data Lab licence</a> along with a credit somewhere within your work.</p>
