This dataset contains data collected during a study "Transparency of open data ecosystems in smart cities: Definition and assessment of the maturity of transparency in 22 smart cities" (Sustainable Cities and Society (SCS), vol.82, 103906) conducted by Martin Lnenicka (University of Pardubice), Anastasija Nikiforova (University of Tartu), Mariusz Luterek (University of Warsaw), Otmane Azeroual (German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies), Dandison Ukpabi (University of Jyväskylä), Visvaldis Valtenbergs (University of Latvia), Renata Machova (University of Pardubice).
This study inspects smart cities’ data portals and assesses their compliance with transparency requirements for open (government) data by means of the expert assessment of 34 portals representing 22 smart cities, with 36 features.
It being made public both to act as supplementary data for the paper and in order for other researchers to use these data in their own work potentially contributing to the improvement of current data ecosystems and build sustainable, transparent, citizen-centered, and socially resilient open data-driven smart cities.
Purpose of the expert assessment The data in this dataset were collected in the result of the applying the developed benchmarking framework for assessing the compliance of open (government) data portals with the principles of transparency-by-design proposed by Lněnička and Nikiforova (2021)* to 34 portals that can be considered to be part of open data ecosystems in smart cities, thereby carrying out their assessment by experts in 36 features context, which allows to rank them and discuss their maturity levels and (4) based on the results of the assessment, defining the components and unique models that form the open data ecosystem in the smart city context.
Methodology Sample selection: the capitals of the Member States of the European Union and countries of the European Economic Area were selected to ensure a more coherent political and legal framework. They were mapped/cross-referenced with their rank in 5 smart city rankings: IESE Cities in Motion Index, Top 50 smart city governments (SCG), IMD smart city index (SCI), global cities index (GCI), and sustainable cities index (SCI). A purposive sampling method and systematic search for portals was then carried out to identify relevant websites for each city using two complementary techniques: browsing and searching. To evaluate the transparency maturity of data ecosystems in smart cities, we have used the transparency-by-design framework (Lněnička & Nikiforova, 2021)*. The benchmarking supposes the collection of quantitative data, which makes this task an acceptability task. A six-point Likert scale was applied for evaluating the portals. Each sub-dimension was supplied with its description to ensure the common understanding, a drop-down list to select the level at which the respondent (dis)agree, and a comment to be provided, which has not been mandatory. This formed a protocol to be fulfilled on every portal. Each sub-dimension/feature was assessed using a six-point Likert scale, where strong agreement is assessed with 6 points, while strong disagreement is represented by 1 point. Each website (portal) was evaluated by experts, where a person is considered to be an expert if a person works with open (government) data and data portals daily, i.e., it is the key part of their job, which can be public officials, researchers, and independent organizations. In other words, compliance with the expert profile according to the International Certification of Digital Literacy (ICDL) and its derivation proposed in Lněnička et al. (2021)* is expected to be met. When all individual protocols were collected, mean values and standard deviations (SD) were calculated, and if statistical contradictions/inconsistencies were found, reassessment took place to ensure individual consistency and interrater reliability among experts’ answers. *Lnenicka, M., & Nikiforova, A. (2021). Transparency-by-design: What is the role of open data portals?. Telematics and Informatics, 61, 101605 *Lněnička, M., Machova, R., Volejníková, J., Linhartová, V., Knezackova, R., & Hub, M. (2021). Enhancing transparency through open government data: the case of data portals and their features and capabilities. Online Information Review.
Test procedure (1) perform an assessment of each dimension using sub-dimensions, mapping out the achievement of each indicator (2) all sub-dimensions in one dimension are aggregated, and then the average value is calculated based on the number of sub-dimensions – the resulting average stands for a dimension value - eight values per portal (3) the average value from all dimensions are calculated and then mapped to the maturity level – this value of each portal is also used to rank the portals.

As a mandate of the New Orleans City Data Policy - Executive Order 16-01 & Policy Memorandum 135, we are taking an inventory of all City datasets. This on-going inventory process will help us to categorize and identify data that could be made publicly available. This process also assists our ability to work cross-departmentally and increases our resilience.
Why is the data inventory important? • Stimulate new ideas and services. By publishing a data inventory, city departments may help to stimulate new and innovative ideas from the community. • Increase internal sharing and resilience. A data inventory can also help us access information from other departments that we need to improve service delivery and resilience planning. • Enabling better and more up-to-date processes. The process of publishing a data inventory will help us to realize the constraints of current City technology and processes, and then plan for future improvements. • Changing how we use data. A data inventory can help empower us to change how we use, share and consume our data externally and internally, ultimately transforming data into better services for citizens and fostering continuous improvement.

This is the complete dataset for the 500 Cities project 2016 release. This dataset includes 2013, 2014 model-based small area estimates for 27 measures of chronic disease related to unhealthy behaviors (5), health outcomes (13), and use of preventive services (9). Data were provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Population Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. The project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) in conjunction with the CDC Foundation. It represents a first-of-its kind effort to release information on a large scale for cities and for small areas within those cities. It includes estimates for the 500 largest US cities and approximately 28,000 census tracts within these cities. These estimates can be used to identify emerging health problems and to inform development and implementation of effective, targeted public health prevention activities. Because the small area model cannot detect effects due to local interventions, users are cautioned against using these estimates for program or policy evaluations. Data sources used to generate these measures include Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data (2013, 2014), Census Bureau 2010 census population data, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2009-2013, 2010-2014 estimates. More information about the methodology can be found at www.cdc.gov/500cities. Note: During the process of uploading the 2015 estimates, CDC found a data discrepancy in the published 500 Cities data for the 2014 city-level obesity crude prevalence estimates caused when reformatting the SAS data file to the open data format. . The small area estimation model and code were correct. This data discrepancy only affected the 2014 city-level obesity crude prevalence estimates on the Socrata open data file, the GIS-friendly data file, and the 500 Cities online application. The other obesity estimates (city-level age-adjusted and tract-level) and the Mapbooks were not affected. No other measures were affected. The correct estimates are update in this dataset on October 25, 2017.

TwitterA geographic depiction of city boundaries in Broward County, Florida.
City boundary data was last updated April 13th, 2021 and previously on February 22, 2021. A small edit was made between Tamarac and Fort Lauderdale just SW of the Executive Airport. In February adjustments were made between Pembroke Pines, Southwest Ranches and Cooper City where their geographies are coincidence and are meant to follow the northern boundaries of STR geography. Prior to this edit, the City of Coral Springs had annexed four parcels of land from unincorporated Broward County; Ordinances 2018-014 (1 parcel) and 2018-036 (3 parcels), effective Sept 15, 2019. Previously in May 2019, a correction was made to the boundaries of Southwest Ranches and Pembroke Pines at Dykes Road and Sheraton, just north of Sheraton, on the west side of Dykes. Prior to this change, a correction was made to the Lauderhill boundary at the Florida Turnpike interchange located at the Sunrise Blvd entrance on the east side of the turnpike in April 2019; the 1959 Lauderhill incorporation legal description, (Laws of Florida 59-1478) left this thirteen acre area as unincorporated. A 1994 boundary change between Plantation and Lauderhill, (Laws of Florida 94-427) de-annexed five parcels from Plantation and annexed them to Lauderhill in this area. However in 1996, Broward County's Strategic Planning and Growth Management Department made available data sets provided by Broward County’s Planning and Information Technology Division via a CD. This data set depicted this unincorporated area as being part of Lauderhill. This depiction remained such until a boundary adjustment in 2006-2007 incorrectly depicted this as being part of Plantation. In 2009 Broward County was made aware of this error and adjusted it partially using the CD boundary as a template. This resulted in the area being incorrectly assigned to Lauderhill. In September of 2018, Lauderhill revisited this boundary depiction by the County and in 2019 it was concluded this area is unincorporated following the 1959 and the 1994 boundary adjustment legal descriptions.
Prior to April 2019 there were other edits. The previous update of the data was Nov 7th, 2018, adusting the boundaries between Weston and Town of Davie to agree with House Bill 0871 which redefined a small area of their adjoining boundaries in the area of Weston Road and I-75. In July 2018, adjustments were made to the City of Margate to align with a city boundary shape file and written legal description as provided by John Shelton, GIS, City of Margate. The previous update was January 17th, 2018, correcting an unincorporated boundary line of the Triple H Ranch plat area within Parkland. This also reflects an adjustment made to Pembroke Pines southwest boundary between the Turnpike and SR 27 and the Sept 15th 2016 annexations of County unincorporated lands by Parkland. (City Ord 2016-06) and Coconut Creek (City Ord. 2015-027).Also a correction to the Hollywood/Davie boundary in the vicinity of Davie Blvd Ext and N 66 Ave and Oak St, per the City of Hollywood. Recent past boundary changes include annexations of county land to Pembroke Pines and Cooper City in 2015. And a Weston-Davie boundary adjustment in 2015; HB 871. And a July 2015 official resurvey of the City of Fort Lauderdale's boundaries which thus included adjustments to Oakland Park and Pompano Beach boundaries, (F. Gulliano, BC Engineering, M. Donaldson PSM, Fort Lauderdale). Also in 2015, a boundary adjustment was made to the eastern most boundary of Pompano Beach to match it to a more accurate depiction of the coastal erosion line by Broward County; (requested by the city to match their legal description). Further back, the were annexations for Parkland (2013) and Sunrise (Nov 2012) and updates to Lauderdale Lakes (per J. Petrov - BC Engineering 2012) and Plantation (I Reyes, GIS - Plantation 2012).

Please refer to the map's legend for context to the color shading -- darker hues indicate a higher level of adults living below the poverty level.If you click on each Data Division, you can view other Census demographic information about that Data Division in addition to the population count.About the Census Data:The data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey's 2014-2018 five-year samples. The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey conducted by the federal government that provides vital information annually about America and its population. Information from the survey generates data that help determine how more than $675 billion in federal and state funds are distributed each year.For more information about the Census Bureau's ACS data and process of constructing the survey, visit the ACS's About page.About the City's Data Divisions:As a planning analytic tool, an interdepartmental working group divided Rochester into 12 “data divisions.” These divisions are well-defined and static so they are positioned to be used by the City of Rochester for statistical and planning purposes. Census data is tied to these divisions and serves as the basis for analyses over time. As such, the data divisions are designed to follow census boundaries, while also recognizing natural and human-made boundaries, such as the River, rail lines, and highways. Historical neighborhood boundaries, while informative in the division process, did not drive the boundaries. Data divisions are distinct from the numerous neighborhoods in Rochester. Neighborhood boundaries, like quadrant boundaries, police precincts, and legislative districts often change, which makes statistical analysis challenging when looking at data over time. The data division boundaries, however, are intended to remain unchanged. It is hoped that over time, all City data analysts will adopt the data divisions for the purpose of measuring change over time throughout the city.
