The NYC Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) implements a data quality checklist for agencies, ensuring data integrity and privacy for public release.

  • Agencies are provided with a data quality checklist to guide the creation of datasets intended for public release.
  • The OTI team reviews datasets against this checklist post-submission, ensuring agencies have complied.
  • Key checklist criteria include data completeness, good documentation, and a mandatory privacy review.
  • The privacy review aims to prevent the release of personally identifying information, unless there's a compelling public interest reason.
  • Feedback is provided to agencies for any necessary data adjustments before final submission.
