The document discusses a local data census to survey open data available at the city level on various topics. It aims to push governments and institutions to open up more relevant data for citizens and to track changes over time. Several themes are identified for the census, including transport, finance, health, civic information, environment, and legislative data. Specific examples of potential data types are provided for each theme to guide discussion on compromising topics and datasets to include in the limited time frame census.
