Assessment Summary
EDI: Not updated for February 2015.
Public Engagement: Only an email is provided with no proof of two-way communication.
Privacy and Security: The agency is still relying on an interim Data Identification and Release Process document that has not been updated recently.
Use and Impact: Justice provided information on 5 data users as requested, but the qualitative responses on use and impact lack specificity and proof of close engagement with the user community.
Note: The doughnut charts for Inventory Composition, Public Dataset Status, and Dataset Link Quality are new for this milestone, and they only appear is data are available. For detailed documentation on these charts, please see http://labs.data.gov/dashboard/docs#doughnut_charts. The "Other" category includes URLs that did not provide a response within 5 seconds of the automated crawl, which may indicate a server issue and not necessarily a completely non-working link.
NOTE: Technical details on DOJ's PDL were not available due to a technical limitation on OMB's part. The percentage of datasets that are published was not available for this review so we used last quarter's figures as an estimate.

Summarize the Inventory Schedule
The Department has created a data release scheduled consistent with the requirements of the White House Memoranda M-13-13, Open Data Policy - Managing Information as an Asset (May 9, 2013). The Schedule describes steps the Department will take through November 30, 2014, to expand its data inventory, enrich the inventory metadata, and open high value data to the public.
1.2.5 Develop Data Inventory Schedule - Milestones
| Title | Milestone 1 |
|---|---|
| Description | The Department of Justice will publish the first version of its open data inventory that meets the standards set forth in M-13-13 and project open data. The inventory will be accompanied by a downloadable json file (http://Justice.gov/data.json) . Implementation details of the data.json file and more information about the open data initiative can be found at Project Open Data. |
| Milestone Date | November 30, 2013 |
| Description of how this milestone expands the Inventory | DOJ will expand its data inventory to include datasets published at data.gov, datasets published through DOJ component websites, and datasets maintained at the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data website. Data sets previously published on data.gov ostensibly meet the project open data specifications and therefore form the base inventory. DOJ will continue to build its private inventory of datasets through by updating system level data collections. Only systems data that have been thoroughly reviewed and approved for publication in accordance with the interim data transparency policy will be listed on the public inventory. |
| Description of how this milestone enriches the Inventory | For each dataset identified in the initial inventory, the department will enrich the dataset by providing the required metadata fields and the required if applicable data fields as defined in the project open data common core metadata schema. |
| Description of how this milestone opens the Inventory | DOJ will identify existing open and machine readable datasets for inclusion in the public inventory. |
| Title | Milestone 2 |
|---|---|
| Description | Establish Target and refine the DOJ data publication process guidelines. |
| Milestone Date | February 28, 2013 |
| Description of how this milestone expands the Inventory | DOJ will expand the systems data collected in the November 20, 2013 milestone and establish inventory targets for the period through November 30, 2014. DOJ will continue to examine and refine the guidelines by which it reviews and releases data. Components will continue to build their respective data inventories, and review data sets for public release. |
| Description of how this milestone enriches the Inventory | All metadata that is applicable to datasets listed in the initial inventory will be completed. For each new dataset added through the expansion process during this step, the metadata will be completed to the extent such metadata exists and is available and applies to the dataset at hand. |
| Description of how this milestone opens the Inventory | The department will establish and publish publication targets for 2014. |
| Title | Milestone 3 |
|---|---|
| Description | DOJ will continue to review data identified in the initial inventory. |
| Milestone Date | May 31, 2014 |
| Description of how this milestone expands the Inventory | DOJ will expand its data inventory according to the targets released in the February 28, 2014 milestone. |
| Description of how this milestone enriches the Inventory | The DOJ inventory will be enriched with Common Core metadata. |
| Description of how this milestone opens the Inventory | DOJ will open datasets through several data outlets, including: data.gov, Custom API’s , or DOJ sponsored websites. |
1.2.6 Develop Customer Feedback Process
Describe the agency's process to engage with customers
The Department has established a network of Open Data contacts at each component. Feedback regarding open data and requests are accepted through an email to open@DOJ.gov .
