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.

Ensuring Longevity
OpenGrid.io on AWS
In 2015, City of Chicago was awarded the grand prize for the “Dream Big” category for Amazon’s City on a Cloud competition. As a result, Chicago has been awarded with $50,000 in AWS credits that will be applied to running OpenGrid.
