OEPS Overview

A number of components work together to create a data ecosystem from which data can be accessed and analyzed in many different ways. The following is a brief description of each component, with links to topics of interest for each one.

OEPS Explorer

The OEPS Explorer is a NextJS app built from WebGeoDa Scaffolding, a configurable web map application that implements jsGeoDa for geospatial interactivity. It is deployed through Netlify.

OEPS Backend

The OEPS Backend is a Flask application that holds a relational database-style JSON file registry based on Frictionless Data standards and all OEPS data in CSV format, as well as a suite of management commands that perform various data-related actions.

Note

In the future, Flask's URL routing could be used to expose registry-related operations to HTTP endpoints, but for now everything is handling via the CLI.

OEPS Documentation

The OEPS Documentation is a static site build with MkDocs and hosted on Github pages at healthyregions.github.io/oeps.

oepsData

We also manage an R data package called oepsData that makes it especially easy to download and analyze datasets from OEPS in an R environment.
