Somerville's OpenData Portal Launches, Webinar on Sept. 20

The city will host a webinar on Sept. 20 to talk about the new Socrata OpenData portal.

Somerville has launched its Socrata-powered OpenData portal, according to an announcement from the city.

The portal is designed to provide residents with data about the city's 311 system, city budget, the departments of Public Works, Traffic and Parking, and Inspectional Services, the 2011 Wellbeing Survey and the most recent ACE (Accurate, Courteous, Easy) Service Scorecard, according to the announcement.

It's the first Socrata-based open-data portal in New England, the announcement says. Other cities, like Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and New York use the system.
