As the City embarks on implementing Intro 363-2014 and unlocking its daily actions, we are working together with the Department of Citywide Services to publish the City Record as open, clean and structured data. At the same time, we are unlocking decades of historical information and making it accessible to all, at no charge.
Our goal is to optimize the utility of City Record content by making accessible and structuring the data; addresses, dates, persons, subjects, agencies, contract types and more are parsed and made available as individual objects. This way, residents, organizations and small and large businesses alike will be able to access, interact and stay informed, whether through notifications, visualizations or other easy-to-use community tools.
For a list of current tasks, please see Issues.
