Gov. Malloy today launched Data.ct.gov, Connecticut’s new open data portal.
It will allow widespread amounts of raw government data to be collected, placed on the internet, and shared with the public in a major effort to increase government efficiency and transparency.
Data.ct.gov will serve as a portal where data collected across all state government agencies will be shared with the public. The website will also include access to economic development data.
Data.ct.gov will includes lists, tables, charts, graphs or other non-narrative forms of data that is generally statistical or factual. This data is collected by executive branch agencies, which will identify data within their agencies and begin the process of uploading that data to the portal.
