Citizens & Businesses
“It is the policy of the state that open data be machine readable and released to the public in ways that make the data easy to find, accessible, and usable...”
Make it Easy.

Simple search and recommendations
for finding relevant data

One click download as common data
formats and developer API’s
Governments & Agencies
Make it easy.
Data and Business processes
- The data should live where you already have it
- "Flip a switch"
