<p><strong><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world-government-data">World Government Data</a></strong></p> Launched last week, this is the Guardian’s meta-search engine for searching and browsing through data from four different government data sites (with more sites planned). Under the hood it’s Django, Solr, Haystack and the Scrapy crawling library. The application was built by Ben Firshman during an internship over Christmas. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ben-firshman">ben-firshman</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/data">data</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/datagovuk">datagovuk</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/guardian">guardian</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/haystack">haystack</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/projects">projects</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/scrapy">scrapy</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/solr">solr</a></p>
