Job Description Title: Project Manager – NYC,NY – 24 Months - #J18901/120870 Location: NYC, NY Duration: 24 Months Description of the Project New technologies have dramatically changed both the way government conducts business and the public's expectations about access to government information. As part of this transformation, New York State launched Open.ny.gov, an open-government initiative, on March 11, 2013. Its goals are to spark innovation, promote research and economic opportunities, engage public participation in government, increase transparency, and inform decision-making. The concept of “Open Data” describes data that is freely available, machine readable, and formatted according to uniform technical standards to facilitate visibility and re-use of published data. New York's open data platform is a web-based public data portal that catalogues data and enables data to be dis-coverable. The portal offers access to standardized data that can be accessed and re-used by citizens, business, researchers, journalists, developers, and government to process, trend, and innovate utilizing a singular dataset or combinations of datasets. Open-NY puts tools for transparency, accountability, and innovation directly into the hands of New Yorkers and people all around the world through a centralized user-friendly interface. This increased visibility provides derivative value as the public is able to analyze and utilize government data, and better understand what is happening in government on all levels – federal, state, and local. Every day progress and site expansion continues and features economic development, recreation, health, and public services information in a format that is retrieved, downloaded, indexed, and searched by commonly used web search applications.
