Participants at the 2014 Open Data Summit in Vancouver this year put their heads together to come up with a list of desired open data datasets. The ever so wonderful Herb Lainchbury then:
- consulted with open data enthusiast on the Civicaccess.ca list to narrow it down and refine it;
- created an online survey;
- solicitied people across the country to vote on it;
- and then shared the survey results.
The final list is as follows:
- Rezoning permit applications
- Land use changes
- Financial data (revenue, expenses, liabilities, equity, etc..)
- Locations of things (fire hydrants, drinking water fountains, public toilets, bike parking, …)
- Transit data
- Development permit applications
- Crime information
- Road construction (511 data)
- Political financing
- Real time traffic flow data and daily road usage patterns
With #1 being the most desired.
