Open Government Dashboard Unveiled
The federal government's chief technology officer unveiled a new Open Government Dashboard Tuesday aimed at providing the public with more information about the progress of agencies in complying with the Obama administration's open government initiatives.
"It makes it easy for the American people to visually track progress on the deadlines to date," Aneesh Chopra said in post on the White House blog. "The dashboard also links to each agency's Open Government Web page, where the public can find more details on the steps taken to implement the [open-government] directive."
After launching Version 1.0 of the dashboard after "just 60 days," Chopra said "the next big step" will be to evaluate each agencies' open government plans, which are due April 7th. He said after agencies meet the deadlines set out for the first 120 days of the initiative, Version 2.0 of the dashboard will "deploy a more holistic set of metrics, informed by agency [open-government] plans. Identifying the right set of metrics will help steer agencies toward high-impact efforts in the years to come."
