Orgpedia intends to make it easy for people to understand the workings of public/government organizations; this is for both - people outside the organization as well as those inside the organization.

To achieve this broad goal, Orgpedia is focusing on solving two technology problems

1. Build information extraction technology:The technology will extract the information from the government orders found in Indian public organizations – Indian languages, formats used in the organizations.
2. Present the information in a way that is easy to consume:Make the information intuitive and actionable. This is achieved by developing higher level concepts, integrating with other public datasets and building novel data visualizations.

In the first stage, Orgpedia is only focusing on extracting information from orders related to transfers/postings of officers and using that information to build an org-chart for a department.

All the extracted data, the software for the information extraction and presentation is in open source and is available on  GitHub. In addition to open sourcing the data and the software, all the analysis will be presented in all  22 official Indian languages(the languages mentioned in the Eighth schedule of the Indian Constitution), along with English.

Orgpedia is an initiative of Orgpedia Foundation, a section 8 (non profit) company based in Pune, India. For more information, please contact  info@orgpedia.in. Annual returns of Orgpedia Foundation can be found  here.
