§ 9-7. Program implementation and governance.

(a) In general.

The Chief Data Officer shall work with the City's agencies and officials to:

(1) identify for each agency a lead open data coordinator who will be responsible for managing that agency's participation in the Open Data Program;

(2) establish a comprehensive inventory of datasets held by each agency and to be published on the Open Data Portal and regularly updated;

(3) develop and implement a process for determining the relative level of risk and public benefit associated with potentially sensitive, non-protected information, so as to make a determination about whether and how to publish that information;

(4) develop and implement a process for prioritizing the publication of datasets on the Open Data Portal, taking into account:

(i) new and existing signals of interest from the public (such as the frequency of Public Information Act requests);

(ii) the City's programmatic priorities;

(iii) existing opportunities for data use in the public interest; and

(iv) cost;

(5) establish processes for publishing datasets on the Open Data Portal, including processes for ensuring that datasets are reviewed for use-appropriate formats, quality, timeliness, and exclusion of protected and sensitive information;

(6) develop and routinely update a public timeline for new dataset publication; and

(7) ensure that published datasets are available for bulk download.

(b) Feedback and collaboration.

In order to increase and improve use of the City's open data, the Chief Data Officer shall actively encourage agency and public participation by providing regular opportunities for feedback and collaboration.
