As government data is created by public tax dollars and open government is a goal of Chattanooga, the public's request for information as well as datasets that provide insight and legibility into Chattanooga's governing practices should be considered in determining "high-value" datasets.

Examples of including public participation to determine prioritization exist in NY's Open Data Handbook, Philadelphia's Open Data Race and Montgomery County's Open Data Town Halls, just to name a few.

See more at the Sunlight Foundation's Open Data Guidelines.

This section should be removed all together. Some of these sections muddy the water a detract from the whole purpose of the policy.
