Monday the city released more information from its “open data” initiative, which aims to make information more easily available on multiple platforms.
Anchorage food inspection results will now be available on Yelp.com and on Muni.org. The city says information is provided with a LIVES (Local Inspector Value-Entry Specification) open data source link to Yelp.
Yelp will also include a summary of the violations for the past three years of inspections.
“You’re already looking for restaurant information why not put the restaurant inspection data there instead of having to go to the muni site, just give you more information where people are looking for it,” said Brendan Babb, from the city’s Chief Innovation Office.
