This is a PDF document created by the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) and the Governor's Office of Performance Improvement to assist training Maryland state employees on use of the Open Data Portal, https://data.maryland.gov. This document covers direct data entry, uploading Excel spreadsheets, connecting source databases, and transposing data. Please note that this tutorial is intended for use by state employees, as non-state users cannot upload datasets to the Open Data Portal.

For newcomers to the opendata.maryland.gov site, gopi.data.socrata.com, and performance.maryland.gov, this page provides some insight and training into navigating these portals and how to effectively use Socrata, these sites' data management tool.
