<b>Details:</b> A 2006 memo from then city Administrator Robert Bobb outlines the District of Columbia’s intention to publish its data, previously only accessible to city staff through an intranet site, to the public website. The effort was closely aligned with the <a href="http://www.govtech.com/magazines/gt/Quantifiable-Improvements.html" target="_blank">DCStat program</a>, intended to provide real-time metrics to help better manage city operations. Data sets included in the initial effort were service requests, property information, permits and licensing, and crime incidents. Today, the District’s Data Catalog includes 495 data sets, accessible in multiple formats.<br>

The city’s resolution highlighted that the new website would include a mobile-enabled <a href="https://data.austintexas.gov/" target="_blank">data portal</a> and said open source platforms promote accessible government by fostering collaboration. The resolution also mentioned Austin’s partnership with Code for America, which was announced in October 2011, touting that it would be an opportunity to share tech with other jurisdictions. In another example of thinking outside city boundaries, the document said Austin would participate in a national dialog on standards for open data initiatives at the municipal level.<br>

<b>Details:</b> Mayor Eric Garcetti issued an executive directive establishing Los Angeles’ open data initiative in December 2013. The document highlighted the success of the L.A. Police Department’s CompStat crime mapping program as an example of what can be accomplished using data and analysis. The directive called for the creation of an <a href="https://controllerdata.lacity.org/" target="_blank">open data portal</a> and for all city departments to update their public information on a regular basis, preferably as an automatic function. While highlighting drivers including greater citizen participation with government, promoting innovation among entrepreneurs and businesses, the directive said “most significantly, it fosters creative new thinking about solving our most intractable challenges through public-private partnerships.”<br>

<b>Details:</b> The federal government first issued an <a href="http://www.govtech.com/pcio/Datagov-Launched-by-Federal-Government.html" target="_blank">open government directive in 2009</a>. The document was issued by Office of Management and Budget Director Peter R. Orszag, responding to direction from President Obama earlier that year. Formally establishing a “presumption of openness,” the document set deadlines for executive departments and agencies to advance their own open government plans, and publish data sets online. A May 2013 executive order defines White House open data policy more explicitly, setting the new default for government data as open and machine-readable. Broadly cited as an impetus for many open data policies that followed, the federal policy brought forth an improved <a href="https://www.data.gov/" target="_blank">Data.gov</a> site built on open source, and today hosts more than 85,000 sets of data.<br>

<b>Details:</b> Cook County’s 2011 Open Government Plan directed county departments and the offices of elected officials to post most of their data online in a machine-readable, open format. The plan says county data is presumed to be open to the extent permitted by law. Today, the county’s <a href="https://datacatalog.cookcountyil.gov/" target="_blank">open data site</a> lists 489 data sets. The plan also directs county departments to publish FOIA requests in an open format on the website.<br>

The law charged the county’s chief administrative officer with developing the Open Data Implementation Plan and determining how agencies would participate. The bill as introduced called for all public data sets to be online within one year, but was amended to say that some will be online within that time frame and the open data plan would set the deadline for other sets. Currently there are more than 90 data sets on the portal.<br>

Signed on March 7, 2013, the policy outlined the county’s transition toward an open government. In addition to providing data sets, the county departments’ responsibilities include conducting quarterly reviews of the quality of their data, progress in providing access to data sets requested by the public and inclusion of new sets. An Open Data Committee was also created to establish rules and standards for implementing the policy and keeping the portal up to date.<br>

Recommendations from that document said the open data portal should prominently feature: financial transparency, open access to public data repositories, and a single point of access for government records requests.<br>

<b>Details:</b> In 2013, Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered the state Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) to create an open data website that would be a “one-stop” source for publishable data from all state government entities. Cuomo’s executive order also established a state chief data officer within ITS and directed all state entities covered by the order to appoint a data coordinator. The state open data site also is open to local governments, and Cuomo directed ITS to offer technical help and other resources to localities interested in posting data to the site. More than 1,100 data sets are now available on the <a href="https://data.cityofnewyork.us" target="_blank">New York state open data portal</a>.<br>

<b>Details:</b> New Hampshire’s open data policy stems from 2012 legislation that also directed state agencies to consider open source software when purchasing new technology. The bill directed the state CIO to develop a policy to make all public data available — unless subject to privacy, security or other limitations — in a machine-readable format. In addition, the bill specifies the release of primary data “with the highest possible level of granularity” and that the information should be downloadable by anyone without a registration requirement.<br>
