Help Us Improve Databook Data

Opportunity

New York City's government has released over 3,000 datasets in the NYC Open Data portal thanks to the work of the Mayor's Office of Data Analytics (MODA). Many of these datasets are updated at regular intervals ranging from once a day to once a year.

These regularly updated datasets present us with an unprecedented opportunity to access, analyze and visualize government data so we can better understand how our city works so we can improve it.

To do this, we've created the WeGovNYC Databook, a set of software and data tools to index, normalize, archive, republish and visualize NYC Open Data.

Here's how it works.

1. Index

We document potentially relevant datasets that we might want to normalize into our WeGovNYC Data Airtable in the data_sources table.
