The Cook County Department of Revenue maintains lists of registered businesses for a variety of tax types. They wanted to be able to share these lists on the web pages for each tax type. This became a great opportunity to use the Socrata embed to create open data while supporting department functional needs.

The registered business lists were added to the data portal as open data that will be regularly updated and then the Department of Revenue embedded views on the pages they wanted. There are eight lists of registered businesses:
