ODI Organizes Ohio Data Demo Day Planning

The Open Data Initiative is looking for sponsors and speakers for a Ohio focused open data event we are organizing. The Data Coalition has held open data focused events over the past few years. I attended the California Data Demo Day last September and was impressed with the cross section of the open data community. Ohio Rep. Mike Duffey, Buckeye Institute, Data Coalition, Sunlight Foundation, Public Interest Research Group, and others have expressed interest in holding a similar event in Ohio. Let’s get Ohio open data folks together to share progress, knowledge, and plan for the near future.

Open Data Initiative Resources Updated and New Ones Being Developed

Some useful resources ODI has improved recently:

Open Data Customer Service

ODI User Story – OhioCheckbook.com: A New National Standard

From Worst to First

Transparency Scorecard

Late summer 2017, we began investigating government financial transparency status quo by reviewing the US state open financial data and policies. From this research, we created our own transparency scorecard regarding the implementation of open data practices at the state level.
