What are the facts/figures that you want to know about coworking spaces? If you run a coworking space, what are the numbers or metrics that you tell people about your space? If you're interested in joining a space, what sorts of things do you look for?
I'm collecting various "metadata" or "attributes" that are generally common to most spaces for the coworkingregistry.org web site. These attributes will be used to create structured data that will be added to the existing profiles there. Some examples of these "attributes" would be "Square Footage", "Total Number of Desks", "Cost of Day Pass", to give you some idea. While not common to every space, many attributes are common to most. Those are the attributes that we're trying to list here. Lets see if we can create a list that is comprehensive and still maintains relevance for most spaces. These can be numbers, yes/no values, or any other type of information. The important thing is that these metrics are relevant to most space. There's a column called "Useful in a change-over-time report?". The idea with this column is that it could be useful to have "reports" that space owners can add every 3/6/12 months. The idea here is that we can start to gather information about changes/trends in the size of coworking spaces over time. The vision is to have space owners be automatically invited (nagged) to update their profile every few months, and then be able to display time-series data about changes in a given geographical region or a specific space. (This can be thought of as a "quarterly report" provided by a corporation.) This information will help various groups of people, including: Space owners, those looking for coworking, and those advocating for coworking. Please take a look at this spreadsheet and add any "Attributes" that you feel are missing: http://bit.ly/eBtqYo Your input will help build out the proflie sections on coworkingregistry.org and could potentially contribute to the CoworkingDB project!
