Raphael Odini
Open-source web developer, I currently work for beta.gouv.fr (innovation in the French administration), and joined multi.coop last year to pursue open-data subjects with like-minded colleagues. I also volunteer in a few NGOs (e.g. Open Food Facts) to lead or help their product development.
Session
Last year, Open Food Facts launched a new project to collect food prices, Want to track your consumption habits? Measure inflation? Or contribute to more transparency?
We’ll show how, starting from zero and without any web scraping, the community gathered 50k prices in just a few months. Each is geo-located (OpenStreetMap) and verified with a proof image (price tags or receipts).
We’ll also give a glimpse of what’s to come, with the development of in-house image detection models to extract, distribute and speed-up price contribution. And support the community in building reuses with the data!
