The Chicago School of Data

The Chicago School of Data-- or, simply, |the ecosystem project| was born out of the MacArthur Foundation's great work in funding and shepherding data intermediaries for Chicago nonprofits over the last few decades.The discipline of using data to make lives better in Chicago goes back to at least as far as Jane Addams, and her work in mapping tuberculosis outbreaks. More recently, the Metro Chicago Information Center, existence from 1990 to 2012, served as a central place for neighborhood groups, nonprofits, and other institutions to go for classic data intermediary work. These functions--holding and describing data, interpreting data for constituents, performing technical work on datasets--have been split among a number of organizations in the city.During this same period, there has been an increase in the number and sophistication of players in the space. Lots of this is centered around the University of Chicago, some can be mapped back to the focus on data in the Obama presidential campaign, and the Emanuel administration has pushed forward lots of data generation and analysis efforts. Great work has come out of places like DePaul, Woodstock, and LISC Chicago. Smart Chicago has emerged as an important and learned worker in the space as well.Then there's the vast hundreds of organizations that use data to do their jobs in feeding the hungry, providing beds for the homeless, arts & culture for the masses, and so on. With months of outreach, we were able to pull together a unique and deep grouping of great workers.In short, there has been an abundance of effort, an eruption of growth, an increase in funded projects, but a paucity of alignment in the sphere of using data to serve people in Chicago. This project seeks to change that.
