Toronto Open Data will present improvements to its Data Quality Scoring algorithm and interface. The city of Toronto's [Open Data Portal](https://open.toronto.ca/) stores lots of data - but whether or not this data is any good is a separate topic! The team behind the portal will share more about what 'good' looks like when it comes to data and how to assess it.
