The Open Data Portal gives the public access to over 2,000 data assets about City agency operations. But agencies often also need access to agency data that's not suited for publication due to the privacy or sensitivity of the data. The Office of Data Analytics (ODA) facilitates data sharing between city agencies through contributions to technology requirements and improvements to the City's data-sharing platforms and tools.
City agencies: Want more information on available City data sharing platforms and tools? Contact ODA.
