The dataset I have decided to analyze is the \u201cRestaurants Active in LA\u201d that is updated\u00a0monthly to reflect the \u201c\u2026registered business[es] whose owner has has not notified the\u00a0Office of Finance of a cease of business operations\u201d. The information provided by the\u00a0dataset includes the name of the restaurant, the address, and the starting date of the\u00a0location, as well as other details. All of the data is separated and organized based on\u00a0the restaurants\u2019 location in\u00a0 relation to the other restaurants. For example, if you\u00a0wanted to look at all of the registered restaurants in the neighborhoods around UCLA,\u00a0like Westwood and Brentwood, you could use the draggable map to locate the area and\u00a0then click on the group of restaurants in that area. It is also possible to sort the\u00a0restaurants based on alphabetical order of their names, which is helpful as well. The\u00a0ontology of this dataset makes it extremely easy to locate a specific area and the\u00a0restaurants in that area, or search up a specific restaurant.<\/p>\n

The organization of the data in this collection would be useful for many reasons and to\u00a0many people. Individuals whom are interested in opening a restaurant may find this\u00a0dataset helpful, as they could determine how many other restaurants are in the area, as\u00a0well as how long they have been there. Furthermore, someone traveling in the Los\u00a0Angeles area may find this useful for determining which neighborhoods they want to\u00a0visit based on the restaurants in different areas.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this is not a conclusive collection of information on the restaurants and a\u00a0lot gets left out. The data provided simply reveals the name, the location, and a few\u00a0other details, but fails to mention information that would help to form a better\u00a0understanding of the restaurant. The type of food, the owner of the restaurant, and the\u00a0overall review of the restaurant could all be important details included in the dataset in\u00a0order to create a more complete dataset. For example, if I was to start over and create\u00a0my own ontology for the data collected on the restaurant, I would organize it a little\u00a0differently than it has been done. I appreciated the arrangement of restaurants based\u00a0on location, but I felt it would have been helpful for my own personal uses if they were\u00a0sorted according to not only their location, but also by type of food. Gratned, that\u00a0information was not provided in the initial dataset, so outside research would be\u00a0required, but I think it would be a better source for the general public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
