OpenGridOpen source, highly-replicable situational awareness

WindyGrid

Ahead of the NATO summit, the Chicago Chief of Staff asked a simple question: why must one ask multiple for departments for data?

WindyGrid was born.

opengrid.io

In 2016, the program was re-written and released as a public program allowing users to explore public, open data. This approach helps broaden the open data movement to non-expert users who want to find out more about their community.

OpenGrid is an open source project that can be deployed in your organization.

More Features

• Allows users to save queries

• Supports secure logins and could integrate with LDAP or Active Directory

• Administration and user management

Pairing OpenGrid with databases and APIs

Beneath the HTML/JS user interface is a service layer that pulls data from a data source and communicates to the UI via an API. This will provide flexibility to use a variety of data storages

WindyGrid: Now built on OpenGrid

Today, WindyGrid is built on OpenGrid’s codebase, which allows our emergency center to monitor events using private data. WindyGrid relies on non-public data stored in MongoDB to meet the city’s needs.

MongoDB Powered for Internal Data

db.data_set.findOne(){

“what” : {…describes what happened…

},“where” : {

“latitude” : “longitude” :

},“when” : {

“timestamp” :},

}

Chicago’s Open Data Portal launched in 2011 and now contains over 600 data sets, available in machine-readable but not-so-human readable data.

Plenario: Aggregating Open Data

OpenGrid is compatible with Plenario, which ingests open data from Socrata and CKAN data portals. Developed by the University of Chicago, it’s a complimentary project to OpenGrid to navigate your open data even easier.
