2016-06 An OpenAPI Pipeline for NZ Crime Data

In March 2016, the NZ Herald ran a week-long series on NZ crime data, including an interactive map, which shows the total number of crimes per region (for July 2015 to December 2015). Harkanwal Singh (Data Editor) made the crime data avaiable via github. This report describes the construction of OpenAPI pipelines to further explore the NZ Crime data.

Two previous reports have described the creation of one-off OpenAPI pipelines for CPI data and demonstrated that running an OpenAPI pipeline can be made a very simple task. This report demonstrates the creation of slightly more general-purpose OpenAPI modules and a demonstration that combining modules into a pipeline can be made a very simple task.
