How can the government make data more accessible?
|
O'Reilly Radar has the interesting article Transforming the Relationship Between Citizens and Government: Making Content Findable Online. In it, Vanessa Fox writes that 70% of citizens expect that their government has the data online but that the data is often unavailable due to it being unreachable by the internet search's engines -- Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft's Live, etc. -- and other categorization tools. She goes on to tell of efforts to address this by both past and current federal offices and administrations. Well worth reading.
