Services using data & analytics

Data and analytics services cover a range of ways that different users can get the raw data or information they need. 

Data services 

Data services tend to be for more technical users. Data services provide refined access to data, for example through an Application Programming Interface (API) for developers to use in their products or CSV files for social researchers collecting a range of evidence to form policy. The City’s Open Data Portal and Winnipeg Transit’s Open Data Web Service provide APIs. 

Analytics services 

Analytics services make data more accessible. Analytics services provide information and advice (rather than raw data) and are based on and enabled by data services. The City provides many analytics services and is continually exploring ways to add more. 

    Data & analytics services principles 

    Data and analytics services are guided by the Open Government Policy, the adoption of the International Open Data Charter, and the Corporate Strategic Plan.  

    Key principles include: 

    1. Data and analytics will be embedded within the City’s services and programs where they are most useful
    2. The City commits to supporting and continuously improving data and analytics services over time
    3. The City will deliver data and analytics services that support equity, diversity, and inclusion
    4. The City will strive to make data and analytics services easy to access and understand
    5. Data and analytics services will be informed by user needs and requests
