The Do-it-Yourself (DIY) Open Data Toolkit is an instructional manual that provides a step-by-step guide on how to develop your open data initiative. It brings together training materials, best practices, tools and resources to help you prepare for and implement an open data project.

The Toolkit is primarily intended for municipalities that have not yet begun an open data project and need some guidance on how to implement one. It is also a useful reference to other governments or organizations who are considering initiating an open data initiative.
