django-datafreezer 0.1.1

# Datafreezer

Datafreezer is a newsroom tool that enables reporters and editors to easily share datasets.

## Features

#### Upload

• With each upload, users complete a data dictionary, which describes pertinent fields within a dataset. This ensures that uploaded datasets are well documented.

  • Users can either upload a dataset that already has header information, or they can add and remove data dictionary fields.

• Users can include a URL in which the data was sourced and the app will scrape the page for a headline to save.

• Tag support (with autocomplete)

#### Browse

• Users can browse datasets by

  • Uploading user

  • Hub (desk)

  • Vertical (section)

  • Tag

  • Source

• The app uses a pluggable JSON endpoint to map email addresses to names and certain slugs to names.

  • This endpoint can be a static JSON or an API.
