Summary:

"Open data such as crime and governmental data is easy to find, Singh explained.

According to Singh, most of these cities releasing this data are using a tool called Socrata to publish its data. There is a single API that can grab data and make it easier to clean and sort.

After that data is located, it has to be queried and then place appropriately. The reason to collect the crime data in this instance was to pare it with the Pokémon Go application to see where the dangerous areas are, Singh said.

There are a variety of applications that can pull out these data sets including Cloudant and CouchDB."
