The state of Utah recently launched the Open Data Catalog to provide open access to a growing number of publicly available data sets. The site was launched as part of a strategy to provide data to the public and encourage transparency in government. The catalog of data sets is valuable to researchers, businesses, educators, students, and technology experts that want to create applications using this data to do research and find out information about the state of Utah.
This page and the advertisement included on the page help promote interesting, newsworthy, and unique visualizations of the data sets. The page was created in order to promote sharing of the information and encourage use of the data on the site.
