Development of Data Respository with import and export APIs for app development, data discorvery and visualization

[larrymason]

Setting up and populating our own online (cloud based) data repository. That has APIs and bulk loading interfaces. We need to do this for three reasons.

• Caching data from databases that have low transactional activity will help offload server demand from city systems
• We can build multi-jurisdictional system that provides data from several local governments, Madison City, Madison County, Athens, Decatur, Limestone County etc.
• Controlling the importing of datasets we can build toward datasets that can be compared between the jurisdictions.

I believe we have a tool that will help us do this.
