V.6.2: Prioritization
Prioritize information to publish. Other Information:
Once we have established an inventory of high value data, we will prioritize the work of publishing it. Among other approaches,
we will seek public comment on the relative importance of the datasets and review prior FOIA requests to look for areas of
high public interest. We will develop time and cost estimates for gathering and publishing the information and establish the
priorities based on all three factors: Organize - As we begin gathering the data, we will organize it for maximum usability.
This includes determining fields to include and appropriate formats for publishing. We will review the data to assure that
no inappropriate disclosure of privacy information occurs. We will also conduct a final review of the formatted data to assure
that it retains the high value intended. In addition to choosing an appropriate format, we will identify any tools needed
to publish or use the data. We will also identify a maintenance plan for the data. That is, an update strategy and a method
for correcting any errors found in the data. Document - In order to make the data useful, we must document the nature of the
dataset, clarify the meaning of the individual fields included, and provide information on the quality and reliability of
the data. An example for making the data more meaningful is to add a narrative of how the data is used by the Corporation
and suggest some possible uses by the public. If needed, we will add special instructions to the narrative. Publish - We will
publish datasets using a “perpetual beta” concept. That is, we will continually update and improve what we have published
and improve on it in many small steps.
