Add chapter of RAP projects

[matt-dray]

Let's point to examples of RAP that have been published to provide inspiration and to show-off people's hard work.

We've started to collect examples from the #rap-collaboration Slack channel and from the RAP champions meet-up. The Google form is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5rZPuMNwEvjKCgL7r4fl4zOHo3NZAXd6T0NWC5PgBRWRsqA/viewform

This could be sorted by language or by the type of element that has been 'RAPped' (e.g. one table, a chapter, a whole report).

My understanding is that this information will be transferred to the GSS website here: https://gss.civilservice.gov.uk/about-us/champion-networks/reproducible-analytical-pipeline-rap-champions/

I won't close this until that's confirmed.

The Google Form and the output Sheet are now available from the GSS RAP Champions page. The Form and Sheet are still owned by GDS, but hosted via GSS. This may change in future.

The original meaning of this issue was to 'point to examples' rather than provide case studies. As such, I think this issue should remain open because we need to do one or both of the following:

1. Point to the GSS site from the Companion and/or link directly to the Form and output Sheet.
2. Include a chapter of 'case studies' where a few of these RAP examples could be drilled into (the case studies should differ from each other to provide a broad set of examples, for example there could be one about producing an entire publication that's been published, but also one about a smaller success with RAPping some part of a publication like a table or chart) – these case studies would be separate from the example that's used to walk people thorough the process (currently 'eesectors').

@matt-dray thanks for creating the sheet and arranging for it to be on the RAP Champions page. The RAP website links to it.

Regarding case studies, we are somewhat limited by the low number of projects with public code and a URL on GOV.UK. Are the following a reasonable sweep?

• Do a national survey, clean it up and publish it. Example by the Department for Education.
• Combine internal data with context other sources, and publish the findings on GOV.UK. Example by the Race Disparity Audit.
• Publish a dataset interactively, with careful curation to help users explore and learn from the data. Example by NHS Scotland.
• Create a package of code for use in other RAP projects. Example by Public Health England.
