While not exhaustive, this document serves as a guide in establishing an open data governance framework, creating an open data inventory, and publishing open data in an efficient and standardized manner.

The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) publishes a quarterly report of employers with active Texas workers’ compensation insurance coverage.

Insurance carriers report coverage data to DWC using the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions’ (IAIABC) IAIABC Proof of Coverage (POC) Release 2.1 electronic data interchange (EDI) standard. The National Council on Workers’ Compensation Insurance (NCCI) collects the POC data for DWC. POC filings are the source of this data set.

The TxDOT Roadway Inventory is a statewide dataset of attribute data routed to TxDOT's roadway network linework using linear referencing. Roadways are dynamically segmented whenever a single attribute changes, resulting in a highly segmented network that can be queried and filtered for specific attribute values. Attributes such as functional system, traffic counts, surface type, speed limits and many more are contained within. This layer is published annually based on end-of-year data that is reported to the Federal Highway Administration. This layer is highly segmented and thus in a different format than most of our regularly published datasets, which are segmented based on a single attribute. The TxDOT Roadway Inventory layer can also be found on txdot.gov and TxDOT’s Open Data Portal. This product is created annually by the Transportation Planning and Programming Division at TxDOT in the Data Analysis, Mapping and Reporting Branch for internal and public use.
