Periscope Chicago builds ETL toolkit for open data -- GCN Chicago builds ETL toolkit for open data By Stephanie KanowitzJan 16, 2015 Data officials in Chicago are churning out open datasets faster than ever by using technology rather than developers to get the job done. About a year ago, the city government embedded Pentaho Data Integration (PDI), a graphical extract-transform-load (ETL) tool with pre-built and custom components to process big data, into its OpenData ETL Utility Kit. The kit provides several utilities and a framework to help governments extract data from a database and upload it to an open data portal using automated ETL processes. Before working with PDI, city workers updated datasets manually, said Jon Levy, open data program manager at the Chicago Department of Innovation and Technology.
