scout is a new way to browse New York's open data portal. It focuses on data discoverability, joinability and creating curated collections of datasets that deal with a specific subject. By focusing not on agencies, or departments, scout allows you to quickly identify datasets that are related to each other and can even potentially be joined together using a common ID. Having found these collections of datasets, scout makes it easy to share your findings with others through our data collections.
