Show Us the Data Launched: Help OpenTheGovernment.org Find the Government's
Most Wanted Documents
OpenTheGovernment.org and CDT announce the launch of Show Us the Data: The Most
Wanted Federal Government Documents, a website created with the help of the
Sunlight Labs, to give you the opportunity to help determine what government
information should be freely available on line, but is not.
This project will lead to a report, recommending documents and data that the
federal government should make easier to find and use. The project's launch
follows up on a directive from President Obama to federal agencies to
proactively make information available to the public. The goal is to identify
the documents and databases the public most wants to be made publicly available
in usable formats. The items can be information known or thought to be in the
federal government?s possession, or information that the federal government
should be collecting or generating.
See our press release for more information.
Thanks. Please share this information widely.
