SERVICE DELIVERY TASK FORCE

Discussion Items:

➢

• 1. We are encouraging all counties to share data by December 31st,

2019!

➢

• 2. Individually engage counties who have already signed data sharing
• agreements. As of 8/20/19, all counties who signed data sharing

agreements were personally invited to share data.

• Here are some simple steps to data sharing:
• When you are ready to share, just email PASDA at

pasda@psu.edu or call PASDA at 814-863-0104.

• They will discuss with you what data you want to share and

how often. You can update data as often as you want. They may also set up reminders so those who are sharing data remember to share on a regular basis.

• Once PASDA receives data, they will create metadata for it and

a record on PASDA. You can review and approve your record before your data goes live.

SERVICE DELIVERY TASK FORCE

Discussion Items:

➢

• 3. Open communication with PA Open Data Portal
• PASDA is a featured content provider – description of PASDA and a link

to the site

• Archiving initiative for state data - involves university libraries

(including Temple, Drexel and UPenn)

• Collaboration between OpenDataPA, Service Delivery Task Force and

PASDA – how can we do this efficiently?

• Community engagement – eliminate duplication of effort
• Eliminate too much portal hopping – reduce the number of clicks
• Portal to portal links between OpenDataPA and PASDA
• Portal to portal links between PASDA and data.gov for GIS data
