Integrate Swiss Federal Data

[hannesgassert]

Wrote a quick scraper for the directory of Swiss federal entities, see https://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/public_bodies_of_the_swiss_federation/

• Names or extracted in German only, but are available in French and Italian as well
• Parsing of addresses/phone numbers could be improved
• Not sure if everything needed is covered and present in the right form, just tried to guess from the CSV files available - feedback very welcome!

@hannesgassert this is fantastic. Will review and try and get this in :-)

Is there anything I can do here? Does the CSV in https://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/sqlite?format=csv&name=public_bodies_of_the_swiss_federation&query=select+*+from+`swdata`&apikey= look ok?

@hannesgassert can you do a pull request? also do you have any thoughts re #29?

Thanks for merging! Please ping when deployed.

@rgrp looks like our govt will officially release the data, by allowing queries to the actual LDAP tree from the internet (which sounds slightly scary).

Are there some plans already on how to deal with data for which we have a dynamic source?
