A Survey of Unique Identifiers in NYC Open Data: Joins, Sorrows, and Surprises facilitated by Jonathan Pichot

This session will survey unique identifiers used in NYC Open Data to organize infrastructure, with a focus on buildings and streets. We'll explore the challenges of modeling New York City as data and give some examples of particularly difficult data problems. We'll demonstrate how these unique identifiers make their way between agencies, and how, as users of open data, you can piece together this data to gain insight. As a participant, you'll leave this session with a deeper understanding of how NYC Open Data fits together and a greater appreciation for the inherently imperfect nature of data when it tries to capture something as varied, complex, and changing as New York City.
