Details

Dataset of printer repair records from the Open Repair Alliance in ORDS format style with added fault_type values. Results of Results of Open Repair Data quests MobiFix and MobiFix:ORA.

There are some differences in the structure of this data and any of the ORDS format versions (0.1 and 0.2). The records involved span different ORDS versions and a handful have not yet been exported.

  1. The usual ORDS id values have been replaced by special mobifix-specific unique identifiers

  2. The model field was removed from the ORDS v0.2 standard but was useful for these quests and so has been retained in this dataset

  3. Age is an important metric in repair policy, therefore it was derived from and replaced the year_of_manufacture field

  4. The field group_identifier is irrelevent in this analysis and thus has been omitted from the dataset

MobiFix was held in July 2020 using data from ORA partner The Restart Project. MobiFix:ORA was held in March 2021 using data from ORA partners anstiftung and Repair Café International.
