Applications - innovative uses of BIS data
Organogram visualiser
This application is an interactive visualisation for government structure - running in real-time, directly from the organogram data provided by each government department.
Dan Smith is the developer. He wanted to help departments to more easily spot mistakes in their organogram data, and to provide an 'explorer' interface for the public, giving everyone an insight into the structure and responsibilities of posts within departments.
The next version of the visualisation will include the costs of each post.

Research Funding Explorer
BIS has worked with Talis and the Research Councils UK, the Funding Councils, Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and Technology Strategy Board (TSB) to gather data on networks and patents. This information has been linked to demonstrate how the data could be used in the future so that when a business asks for hard facts on the clusters of excellence in a specific technology area, the leading universities and firms in that space are identifiable at the click of a button.
