How this portal is organized

If keyword searches haven't worked out, or you just want to browse, here's how to navigate the hierarchy.

The main feature of this portal is a catalog of City data. The catalog is a list of the datasets published on the portal, and each entry has a basic description. The catalog can be filtered by publishing department and tag.
Click a catalog entry to access the dataset. The dataset is a collection of downloadable files, which we like to think of as views of the data. Some datasets have multiple views of the same data so we can provide the data in multiple formats or pre-filtered for ease of use.
A view is the single file or API available to access from the dataset page. We only provide views that are in a machine-readable format, including .csv, .json, .geojson, .zip, and .xml.
Browsing shortcuts

Tags and departments are a good way to narrow down the catalog. You can even get a description of each tag and department to understand which are relevant to your search.
