The dataset<\/a> I have chosen shows restaurants in Los Angeles and the health codes they may have broken.<\/p>\n

The ontology of this dataset is as follows. The data is broken up up the restaurant or market by address and name and then describes an identification number and various codes that apply to that restaurant\u2019s inspection. It also tells the reader how many points were taken off for that particular code. It also gives the final score out of 100 and grade, A, B or C. It is pretty straightforward. This is useful so you can search for a particular restaurant by name and address. If you forget the name if a restaurant, you can search by city and so on\u2026 Common restaurant goers would find this information useful because it tells them why a restaurant that typically is very clean has as B rating.<\/p>\n

As someone who is not from LA, I have strived to try new restaurants all across the county. It always surprises me when certain places that seem nice or clean have a poor rating so when I saw this data set I wanted to know what were the criteria that may have given restaurants a lower rating. Particularly, I enjoy going to Canter\u2019s Deli when it\u2019s late at night and I am hungry for some delicious matzah ball soup. It\u2019s a Los Angeles Jew\u2019s classic. I was shocked to hear that such a well-run establishment got caught for having vermin. It is also useful for those looking to open restaurants so they can see all that goes into maintaining the cleanliness of the restaurant.<\/p>\n

What is left out of this dataset is a restaurant’s previous rating. This would be useful to see if a restaurant maintained consistency, greatly improved, or drastically got complacent on their cleaning rituals. Knowing this information could be helpful in choosing a particular restaurant when going out to eat to ensure that you are eating at a safe place.<\/p>\n

There are some ID numbers that seem useless for an average person looking at the data so if I were to create this dataset I would change some aspects of the ontology. I would have the violations described (assuming I know the criteria) but I would also describe how the restaurant and kitchen looks to an average person walking in. \u201cAre the corners dirty?\u201d and so on\u2026 I would not have the points and the score because at a certain point, an A is an A, whether the restaurant scored a 91 or a 100 so I would not add those extraneous variables.<\/p>\n
