Open Data: What’s Next


  Advantages of an Open Data Platform

      Modernize the way Hawaii uses and shares information

      Make data easy to find, explore, use & visualize

      Enhance the way organizations engage with audiences

      Empower developers to build value-enhancing apps with data

      Provide a common data platform for more cost effective service delivery




                                                                           9
Three Simple Goals for Open Data




  1. Make it easier to publish and share data



  2. Make information accessible



  3. Make information reusable

Data is Too Inaccessible by the People Who Need It

they want to share but                                                internal programmers
doing so is expensive                                                    want to understand
and difficult.                                                         and make use of this

What data to people want?
    How important do you think the following types of public data that
    Federal, State and Local governments publish are?




Survey by: Vision Critical, 1,000 nationally represented adults
Co-sponsored by: Sunlight Foundation, Personal Democracy Forum, Socrata, Govloop, Code for America, eaves.ca
The Most Compelling Datasets


 1.   Geospatial data. People love maps.
 2.   Public safety data of all kinds:
      a.    Traffic fatalities, moving violations by highway, etc.
      b.    Crime
      c.    Environmental safety
      d.    Complaint database
 3.  Salary data. White House: http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/disclosures/annual-
     records/2011.
 4. Health data. Most health departments have a wealth of interesting and useful health measure
     data.
 5. Expenditure data. Citizens want to see where the state spends money. Many progressive
     governments are working towards automating the publication of expenditure data (checkbook
     level transactions) in real-time or nightly.
 6. Education data.
 7. Census data.
 8. Parcel/property data
 9. Business Data – new business listings, incorporations, etc.
 10. Locations of government services.

 Tactical Goals for Open Data in Hawaii

 • Use data.hawaii.gov as a platform to manage and disseminate all data-
   driven content
 • Use data.hawaii.gov as to report performance metrics
     •   Metrics that relate to data driven goals
 • Provide all key transparency, ethics, and accountability data
     •   Including revenue, expenses, contracts, public meetings, lobbying and
         political campaign data.
 • Identify and replace expensive, legacy web apps
     •   Replace them with easy-to-deploy and easy-to-maintain Socrata data
         experiences.
 • Identify and consolidate redundant silos of data.
     •   Take advantage of economies of scope in the platform, as a result of unlimited
         reuse of the same data for multiple purposes and through multiple interfaces.
 • Design and manage an App Contest
     •   incentivize the creation, deployment, and long-term sustainability of targeted
         community apps, based on local needs.


                                                                                          33
Recommendations for Open Data




 1. Set your data free
 2. Pick a partner agency that “gets it”
 3. Pick one solid use-case for a data-driven site and roll
    that out
 4. Public and Private Collaboration
 5. Kick-start innovation: lead by example. Accelerate.
