Abstract:
This paper reports on services using open data that we proposed at the "First Governor's Cup Open Data Hackathon" held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The use of open data is necessary for the digitization of public administration. We participated in a hackathon organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, developed an application that allows users to search for and participate in event information using open data, and proposed it as a solution for regional revitalization. This proposal demonstrated the usefulness of open data and its potential for solving administrative issues. Nevertheless, open data in Tokyo remains underdeveloped: it needs improvement. We will also report on improvements we made through this hackathon.
