WQ.50/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIR OF THE PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURES
COMMITTEE
BY DEPUTY A.F. CURTIS OF ST. CLEMENT
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 10th FEBRUARY 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 17th FEBRUARY 2025
Question
"In relation to the new States Assembly website, will the Chair advise –
- if the website provides public open access to Assembly data in a structured and common format (such as JavaScript Object Notation, Extensible Markup Language, Comma Separated Values) through any type of Application Programming Interface (API);
- whether this function was included within the original project scope, and if not, why not; and
- what plans, if any, exist to provide public access to Assembly data in a structured format if this doesn't already exist?"
Answer
- The website does not currently provide States Assembly data with front-end access in a structured and common format (such as JavaScript Object Notation, Extensible Markup Language, Comma Separated Values). However, the data can be accessed in these formats via opendata.gov.je.
- This function was not part of the original project scope as opendata.gov.je was designed to house public data in this format
- There are no current plans to provide States Assembly data in a structured format via the Assembly's website. However, this matter will be given further consideration in light of the fact that it would be a helpful addition to the site.
