-*Simply accessing data, however, is not the ultimate goal of OpenDataPhilly. By connecting people with data, we’re hoping to encourage users to take the data and transform it into creative applications, projects, and visualizations that demonstrate the power that data can have in understanding and shaping our communities. These public uses of data are featured in the OpenDataPhilly Idea Gallery . Each data set, application, or API can also be rated and commented upon in order to provide feedback on the possible uses of a data source.
-*We realize that we have most likely not identified every available data set. If you’d like to submit a data set, please visit our Submit Data form. You can also suggest general data sets that you think would be useful via the Nominate Data page. Together, we can build a more complete catalog of the open data sources in Philadelphia.
