In Digital Agency, in accordance with the "Rules for Machine-Readability in Administrative Data," a judgment tool called "Harunobu" is available on GitHub. This tool allows you to check and score how well your data complies with the rules. By checking the scoring results, you can understand which parts of the data should be corrected and improve the machine-readability.

Harunobu is a judgment tool that checks the machine readability of Excel, CSV, and TSV files against the "Rules on Machine Readability in Administrative Data" and scores them out of 100 points. It was developed by Digital Agency and is available on GitHub. The results of the scoring show the locations of violations and the reasons for them, so you can consider areas for data improvement while viewing the results.

  • *To run the tool, it is necessary to build an environment such as Python. For specific instructions on initial setup, please check the README at the link above (GitHub repository).
  • This tool can be operated in the user's local environment. It can also be incorporated into a system that processes data as a library. Unless the AI judgment support function is turned ON (* 1), judgments are made with mechanical logic in the program. Since the content of the loaded file is never sent to external servers, you can safely check unpublished administrative data and work files that are being edited and may contain confidential information.

  • * 1: Only if you optionally enable the "Decision-making assistance function based on AI," AI will be sent to APIs of external data services (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) set by you. When using the function, please make a decision in accordance with the security policy of your organization.
