This document discusses the growth of open data in New York City from 2009 to 2012. It notes that the number of public datasets grew from 170 in 2009 to 750 in 2011. It also discusses the launch of NYC's open data portal nyc.gov/data and quotes Carole Post, the director of the Mayor's Office of Data Analytics, saying that while all data should be open, privacy, confidentiality and safety concerns must be balanced on a dataset by dataset basis.

star*ng
place
is
that
all
data
is
open
and
should
be
published
to
the
public,
but
from
there
you
have
to
recognize
a
very
important
balance
of
protec*ng
privacy,
confiden*ality,
and
public
safety
–
the
many
concerns
that
come
into
play
data
set
by
data
set,
