Evolving Open Data 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
