NYC Woos Data Newbies With New Open Data Portal Home Page

Government Technology: Five years to the day after Mayor Bill de Blasio signed New York City’s Open Data Law, the municipality marked the legislation’s anniversary on Tuesday, March 7, with something for newbies — the launch of a new, user-friendly home page for the NYC Open Data Web portal.

The homepage, the city said via news release, is an easier entry point for “data novices” to get acquainted with city data and to empower New Yorkers “to understand how their city works through the information it produces.”

Now being tested in beta mode, the new website features how-to guides to getting started with city data sets and analysis tools; a public calendar of civic tech and data events; a new customer support app for asking questions, requesting new data and tracking the status of issues; and information on the city’s open data policy.
