Welcome to NYC School of Data — a community conference that demystifies the policies and practices around open data, technology, and service design. This year’s conference kicks off NYC’s Open Data Week & features 30+ sessions organized by NYC’s civic technology, data, and design community! Our conversations & workshops will feed your mind and empower you to improve your neighborhood.
To attend, you need to purchase tickets via eventbrite. Venue is accessible and content is all ages friendly! If you have accessibility questions or needs, please email us at < schoolofdata@beta.nyc >.
If you can’t join us in person, tune into the main stage via zoom < schoolofdata.nyc/live >. Follow the conversation #nycSOdata on twitter.
Our session will describe Emerson Collective (EC)'s process as to how we arrived at the product concept for the “Data Repo”, outline several use cases this platform allows for, and provide a demo of the tool with an NYC-relevant example.
This session will appeal to open data administrators, product managers, and developers who are interested in not just making data open and available, but usable for users downstream.
The Data Repo is more than a code repository or data portal—it is an environment where users can facilitate their entire research and data lifecycle. The Data Repo provides an environment to:
Work directly with up-to-date data from the cloud
Share notebooks to (1) collaborate with other researchers within your organization, or (2) disseminate findings to other researchers outside your organization
Generate visualizations and operationalize insights for other users within their organization (ex. a comms team)
Post content to share out with the wider research community
Upskill and learn common coding practices for data retrieval, processing, and publishing
