Int. No. 991

June 29, 2009


Open Government Data
Open government data is the concept that the
publicly accessible data generated by the
public sector should be available to the public
electronically via the Internet in “open raw
formats.”
Adopting open government data standards
would make access to information easy and
affordable while also promoting transparency
and accountability.
Open data permits deeper and more varied
analysis of government data by enabling two
or more data sets to be integrated together.
Open Government Data (cont.)
On December 8, 2007, a group of 30 open
government advocates developed eight principles
that define open government data.
These principles include:
– Complete – All public data is made available. Public data
is data that is not subject to valid privacy, security or
privilege limitations.
– Timely – Data is made available as quickly as necessary
to preserve the value of the data.
– Accessible – Data is available to the widest range of
users for the widest range of purposes.
– Machine processable – Data is reasonably structured to
allow automated processing.
Introduction Number 991
Int. No. 991 requires all public records to be made
available on the Internet through a single web portal,
formatted to enable viewing by web browsers and
mobile devices and also in their raw or unprocessed
form.
The public records are to be made available without
any registration requirement, license requirement or
restrictions on their use, and must be presented and
structured in a format that permits automated
processing.
Int. No. 991 requires DoITT to promulgate rules
establishing an Internet record policy and a technical
standards manual for the publishing of public records
on the Internet by City agencies by January 4, 2010.
Introduction Number 991
The legislation requires each agency, in consultation
with DoITT, to review the public records under its
control and to develop and submit an agency
compliance plan to the Mayor and the Council no later
than January 4, 2010.
In addition, agencies must classify the public records
under their control as “immediate”, “priority” and
“legacy.”
– “Immediate” - any public record that can be made available on
the Internet within thirty days of the agency acquiring or
creating such record.
– “Legacy” - any public record that, due to its size, complexity, or
technology constraints, cannot be made available on the
Internet by July 4, 2011.
– All other public records shall be classified as “priority”.
