Data pipeline

The count includes events records in the Bradford 2025 Project Hub Schedule table.

The initial extract selects only the following entries:

  • Only events that are associated with Greenlit projects are extracted.
  • Only events which are part of projects not in the following project phases: On Hold, Archive or External Activity. Projects with no defined phase are also excluded.
  • Only records which are of type Event (any public-facing activity) are included.

This extract also sets an Evaluation category, based on data entered into the Programme Category field. The logic is outlined below, with the Evaluation Category being set to the first value that is matched:

  • If the Programme Category contains Exhibition, then the Evaluation Category is set to Exhibition.
  • Else if the Programme Category contains Festival, then the Evaluation Category is set to Festival.
  • Otherwise the Evaluation Category is set to In-person.

Preparation for the data dashboard site includes additional processing:

  • Missing event end dates are substituted with the start date (effectively converting to a single event)
  • An Event Count is calculated from difference between the start and end dates. This assumes that there is a single event per day, and does not take account of days during a block where events might not take place (e.g. a museum not being open on Mondays).
  • Record validation is performed to reject the following:
    • Missing project names are excluded — removes records.
    • Records with no start date — removes records.
    • Records that have not started at the time of processing — removes 0 records.
    • Records with a start date after the end date — removes records.
    • Records marked with a Producing model of Artist Led Awards - removes records.

Further processing is performed to allocation multi-day events to specific periods (e.g. months). As an example, a multi-day event record starting on 29 Jan and finishing on 2 Feb should be allocated 3 days in January and 2 days in February.

In this page, future events are rejected by clipping the date ranges to the current date.
