LIBRE: Libre Information Batch Restructuring Engine

Created by the Office of the Chief Information Officer of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in 2013 as a prototype to show off the potential of opening data.

Resources of the Office of the CIO, once commited to this project, are no longer available. We invite the community to continue its development.
