WeGovNYC’s DataBook Update: 50+ NYC Open Data Sets in One Interface and a Data Lake(house)

The WeGovNYC Databook (https://databook.wegov.nyc/) is a data pipeline that indexes, normalizes, and republishes over 50 NYC Open Data datasets into a single interface that offers in-depth profiles of City agencies, public schools, civil service titles and more.

During this session, Devin Balkind of WeGovNYC will review how the Databook’s data pipeline works, give a tour of the interface, talk about some recent FOILing, share plans for integrating MTA data, and discuss their next-generation open data stack that will make it much easier for people to build data products using transformed data.
