US Census Counts with Endeca
February 4, 2011
Endeca as hit the metaphorical nail on the head with one of its latest endeavors. The US Census Bureau is now using Endeca Technologies business intelligence software, Endeca Latitude, to launch its new American FactFinder. We learned in “US Census Bureau launches New American FactFinder on Endeca”:
“American FactFinder makes more than 250 billion decennial census facts available and navigable to the average American, civil servants and skilled statisticians alike.”
After a preliminary rollout with American FactFinder, The Bureau challenged itself to redo the site to provide easier access to no professional or expert users. Endeca allows users to search within specified taxonomy to receive relevant search results as well as how to access the results.
I had the chance to play with American FactFinder and I must say, go, Census! Get that 2010 data into the system. Lots of changes since Year 2000. Point-and-click, canned PDF reports, and, oh, 2010, data. Did I mentioned that? Year 2000 data.
