Project
Luegid ane.
"Luegid ane" means "look at it": we make visible where Swiss public money goes.
What it is about
Public money, publicly traceable
"Luegid ane" is Swiss dialect and means "look at it". The project monitors and documents the spending and contracting of the public sector in Switzerland.
To do so, we evaluate the procurement platform simap.ch and build a knowledge graph (Neo4j) about NGOs and the people involved — making connections visible that would otherwise stay hidden.
All our data sources are public — and our analyses should be too. Anyone can trace how we arrive at our results: open code, open data, open methodology.
The project in brief
Status: early stage — the project description is being refined continuously
Area: transparency
Data sources: simap.ch and other public sources
Technology: knowledge graph (Neo4j)
How we work
Looking closely, in three steps
- Evaluate — we continuously review the tenders and awards on simap.ch.
- Connect — a knowledge graph links contracts, NGOs and the people involved.
- Disclose — results and methodology are open for everyone to inspect and verify.
