The ATIS/US Ignite Smart Cities Data Catalog Specification was developed through the collaboration of solution providers from industry and leading North American cities. It is based on an architecture that connects data producers, data enrichers and data consumers, leveraging a consistent framework, approach and interoperable specifications.
The remainder of this paper builds on the concepts described in the Data Catalog Specification. It also provides cities with recommendations for leveraging forward-looking data policies to take advantage of new opportunities to engage citizens, businesses and data partners.
