    Metadata Updated: February 4, 2025

    The Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), within the District of Columbia (DC) government, manages the District’s data program. This includes open data, business intelligence, data curation, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The open data handbook explains the process and steps the OCTO data program undertakes when an agency submits an open dataset. More importantly, the handbook documents dataset rules, metadata requirements, and policies to make data consistent and standardized. This applies to any dataset submitted for publication on DC’s open data portal.
