SF City Data Catalogues

DATA SF’s mission is to empower use of the City’s data. Their core product is SF OpenData, their official open data portal. Launched in 2009, the data portal contains hundreds of city datasets for use by developers, analysts, residents, and more. Data SF believes open data has the potential to support a range of outcomes from increased quality of life, more efficient government services, better decisions, and new businesses and services.

Enabling data use in San Francisco is about more than simply publishing datasets on SF OpenData. That’s why they’ve launched programs like the Data Academy, a training program which helps increase internal City capacity to effectively use our data.

This is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 1387 genres by The Echo Nest. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier
