   (a)   Within 180 days after this Article takes effect, the County must prepare and publish a technical standards manual for the publishing of a public data set in raw or unprocessed form through a single web portal by an agency to make public data available to the greatest number of users and for the greatest number of applications. The manual:
      (1)   must use open standards for web publishing and e-government, whenever practicable.
      (2)   must identify the reason why each technical standard was selected and to which types of data it applies;
      (3)   may recommend or require that data be published in more than one technical standard; and
      (4)   must include a plan to adopt or utilize a web application programming interface that permits application programs to request and receive public data sets directly from the web portal.
   (b)   The County must update the manual as necessary.
   (c)   The County must consult with appropriate voluntary consensus standards bodies and, when participation is feasible, in the public interest, and is compatible with agency and departmental missions, authorities, and priorities, participate with such bodies in the development of technical and open standards.

      (2)   prioritize the public data sets for inclusion on the single web portal on or before December 31, 2018, under the standards adopted by the County under Section 2-157; and
      (3)   create a timeline for their inclusion on the single web portal.
   (b)   If a public data set cannot be made available on the single web portal on or before December 31, 2018, the Open Data Implementation Plan must state the reason why the set cannot be made available, and, to the extent practicable, the date by which the agency in possession of the public data set believes that it will be available on the single web portal.
   (c)   No later than July 15, 2015, and every July 15 thereafter, the Chief Administrative Officer must submit to the Executive and Council, and post on the web portal, a report on the Open Data Implementation Plan until all public data sets to be published have been made available through a single web portal as required by this Article. The report must explain:
      (1)   the specific measures taken to make a public data set available on the single web portal since the previous report;
      (2)   any specific measure that will be taken before the next report;
      (3)   whether the list of public data sets, outlined in the Open Data Implementation Plan should be updated;
      (4)   whether the prioritization of public data sets in the Open Data Implementation Plan should be changed; and
      (5)   whether the timeline outlined in the Open Data Implementation Plan for the inclusion of a public data set on the single web portal, should be changed.
   (d)   If a previously unidentified public data set cannot be made available on the single web portal on or before December 31, 2018, the report must explain why it cannot and, to the extent practicable, specify the date by which the agency in possession of the public data set believes that the public data set will be available on the single web portal.
