Details About Next-Gen State of California Open Data Portal Emerge, Prototype Available

From Techwire:

The announcement [for the new portal] came Friday, Feb. 12 from Stuart Drown, the deputy secretary for innovation and accountability from the recently formed California Government Operations Agency (CalGovOps). Drown said the initiative began in 2015 when CalGovOps experimented with the idea by launching a portal that included 11 data sets from three different departments.
