4. Current Challenges Duplication of effort – A parallel manual process to participate in Data.Gov Time – Cumbersome. No automation from transactional systems Inability to affect the citizen experience – Only tool is a downloadable file Lack of visibility – Who’s using the data? How? When? April 14, 2011

5. Three Ways to publish data Interactive publishing Automating publishing Federating existing data April 14, 2011

6. Demo Publish a dataset with csv upload – Quick, easy, no IT required – Maintenance is made easier Real-time publishing via the API – Seattle 911 data: http://data.seattle.gov/Fire/Seattle-Real-Time- Fire-911-Calls/kzjm-xkqjhttp://data.seattle.gov/Fire/Seattle-Real-Time- Fire-911-Calls/kzjm-xkqj – Complete Automation (cost reduction, time, accuracy, realtime data more valuable) Federation demo – Data.Gov is no longer disconnected from your agency Open Data initiative Curating the experience – Create default filters, create a map April 14, 2011

7. Federation for Agencies April 14, 2011 Effortless Automatic Agency collaboration Expands reach

8. What about DMS? Today: – Identify a downloadable dataset on your agency website – Gather the metadata for the dataset – Fill out the DMS Excel template and upload to the DMS – Submission then flows through the DMS five approval stages: sub agency, agency, PMO, security, QA. April 14, 2011

9. Future of DMS No immediate changes Evaluating ways to improve DMS soon – Maintain all the safeguards to ensure data quality – But streamline entering metadata online – Or via the new publisher API – Hopefully no more templates April 14, 2011
