Mayor Walsh opens up Boston’s online data | BetaBoston

Please come to Boston for the data

"Mayor Martin J. Walsh signed an executive order Monday night to make the city’s data — information such as restaurant inspections, crime statistics, emergency response times, and liquor licenses — accessible to the public and published online for software developers to create web pages and mobile applications.

Boston has been slower than many other cities in opening up its data to public use, but now the city will join San Francisco, New York City, Seattle and other communities that have sought to spur innovation by putting vast amounts of data online."
