NYC Open Data’s mission is Open Data for All. In order to meet that goal, we must examine our Data Dictionaries— the metadata we provide to all Open Data users. Well-written, user-friendly data dictionaries help users to become self-reliant, able to answer their own questions about a dataset without needing to contact an Open Data Coordinator for clarification. NYC Open Data partnered with the Metropolitan Library Council (METRO), Pratt Institute, Sloan Foundation, The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, Tiny Panther Consulting, New York Public Library, Queens Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library to implement an initiative called Metadata for All in the Summer of 2018.

The United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) is the official non-partisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are 1,408 such cities in the country today. Each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor.

On June 24, 1982, at the 2nd UN Special Session on Disarmament held at UN Headquarters in New York, then Mayor Takeshi Araki of Hiroshima proposed a new Program to Promote the Solidarity of Cities toward the Total Abolition of Nuclear Weapons. This proposal offered cities a way to transcend national borders and work together to press for nuclear abolition. Subsequently, the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki called on mayors around the world to support this program. The Mayors for Peace is composed of cities around the world that have formally expressed support for the program Mayor Araki announced in 1982. As of December 1, 2016, membership stood at 7,196 cities in 162 countries and regions. We were registered as a NGO in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in May 1991.

Argentine Chapter Of Transparency International. Poder Ciudadano is a non-partisan and non-profit foundation that was born in 1989 as an initiative of a group of citizens concerned about the defense of civic rights in our country. From its origins the founders took into account for their integration the criterion of gender equality, diversity in political-party inclinations and social classes. But they shared a base of common values, considering that in this plurality a civic thought could be built that would engage the participants beyond the vote, setting aside differences to strengthen the true value of democracy.
