Open Data Standard Workshop: LIVES & Lessons Learned from US Implementation

Smarter Civic

<H2>Learn the LIVES data standard &amp; lessons from scaling the standard in the US </H2>
What is LIVES? The LIVES data standard presents restaurant inspection data from various jurisdictions in the same data standard, even if their score format differs. LIVES originated with the innovative public health and open data work of San Francisco and New York City, was coordinated with Yelp (the restaurant review website), and evolved from a 1.0 to a 2.0 standard in August, 2015. Over the last few years, the LIVES data standard launched restaurant inspection data in multiple open data portals and were ingested into restaurant information websites like Yelp. Governments use LIVES track, benchmark, and share their restaurant inspection data. A flexible and compelling open data standard, LIVES has lessons for anyone working with open data or in public health/food safety.

With more than a decade of experience in open government, civic technology, and open data, Schacht's a published author (Open Government, by O'Reilly Publishing), public speaker (including Open Knowledge Fest &amp; Con), and advisor to civil society (Transparency and Accountability Initiative) and governments in the US and internationally.
