The New York City Office of Technology’s open data team has revamped its open data guidance. The city's new technical standards manual has been reorganized to focus on the open data lifecycle — from identification to long-term maintenance. The intent is to make it easier for the New York City (NYC) staff to create data sets available to the public in the long term.
The updated standards manual includes new guidance on training for open data coordinators, a role that each NYC agency, office, and commission is required to appoint. It also provides in-depth guidance on which data is mandatory to report, includes new standards for tracking different versions of data sets, and notes where there are data-quality concerns or gaps.
