Executive Directive #3: Open Data
December 2013
Make raw data available in easy-to-find
accessible formats, in order to:
•
Empower Angelenos to participate in
governance
•
Promote innovation among entrepreneurs
and business
•
Leverage one of government's greatest
assets: public information
•
Foster creative thinking about solving tough
challenges
#DataLA
Defining Open Data
• Data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share a like.
• Key is: Interoperability; the ability of diverse systems and
organizations to work together (inter-operate). In this case, it is the
ability to interoperate - or intermix - different datasets…to drive
innovation!
#DataLA

solutions.

based on sound evidence.
