Welcome to NYC School of Data — a community conference that demystifies the policies and practices around civic data, technology, and service design. This year’s conference kicks off NYC’s annual Open Data Week & features OVER 30 sessions organized by NYC’s civic technology, data, and design community! Our conversations & workshops will feed your mind and empower you to improve your neighborhood. Follow the conversation #nycSOdata on twitter and tune into our live stream (provided by the Internet Society of New York).
At the ODI, we have been exploring how we can increase access to data while retaining trust. Increasing access to data held by private and public sector organizations will encourage innovation and improve services across a wide range of sectors, but we know that there are many barriers to data sharing.
In this session we'll be sharing our findings so far and presenting our 'data access map', which we've created to help people navigate the many models that are available. As well as asking for feedback for the map, we also want to hear about your experience of real-world data sharing arrangements and the pros and cons associated with them.
