City of Toronto

About

In April 2009, Toronto Mayor David Miller announced an initiative "to make City of Toronto data freely available to everyone". His announcement said:

I am very pleased to announce today at Mesh09 the development of http://toronto.ca/open, which will be a catalogue of city generated data. The data will be provided in standardized formats, will be machine readable, and will be updated regularly. This will be launched in the fall of 2009 with an initial series of data sets, including static data like schedules, and some feeds updated in real time.

On November 2 datasets were made available on their website. As of Nov 15 appear to be approximately 20 datasets.

Openness: OPEN
