Dataset Formatting

Dataset Formatting

This doc is currently under construction.

Optimal data formatting includes the following:

• For tabular data, single sheet CSVs are the most adaptable format for agency use that prevents a plethora of defects in data integrity maintenance.
• For relational data, standard SQL exports are preferred for clarity and adaptability in agency and planning use.
• For unstructured data available via web publishing, HTML resources are preferred to prevent inaccuracies and to limit the amount of time needed to provide resources for community use.

Remember, datasets can be suggested for incorporation via https://support.mygarrettcounty.com by submitting a support ticket for "Data Submission."
