What people ask the City to publish
Anyone can nominate a dataset through the Open Data help desk, and the City publishes the whole queue: the request in the asker's own words, the agency it was routed to, and the answer that came back. It is the portal's own suggestion box, read from the outside — a running record of the gap between what the City puts out and what people actually want from it. The City gives itself 60 days to answer. Below, the queue is cut five ways — by subject, by what the City said back, by the kind of ask, by agency and by year — and every bar filters the log.
How the requests break down
Click any bar to filter the log below. Subject, kind of ask and kind of answer are read from the text by keyword rules written for this page, not categories the City publishes — the rules are listed in the methodology.
