IMFG Graduate Fellowship winner Andrew Do investigated the benefits open data can have for stakeholders including the Toronto Public Service, non-profit organizations, app developers, as well as activists. He presented findings on the state of the City of Toronto’s open government and open data efforts based upon a survey of the literature, best practices, and key informant interviews.
