Sunlight Imagines Data.gov Attributes
One of Washington's leading open government groups has laid out its vision of what Data.gov, the forthcoming repository for government data and research, should look like. The Sunlight Foundation's renderings come as President Obama's CIO Vivek Kundra works on the project, which he expects to unveil later this year. "Providing access to government data is one of the clearest ways to be more transparent -- and it is our hope that Kundra and team nail this with Data.gov," said Sunlight Labs director Clay Johnson. In order to do so, his group wants to see: bulk access to data; accountability for data quality; clear, understandable language; service and developer friendly file formats; and comprehensiveness.
