RE: Ground-Breaking U.S. Open Data Policy Released!

Jeanne, the Executive Order and M-13-13 are now available in open, standard,
machine-readable StratML Part 1
<http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/index.htm#Part1> , Strategic Plan, format at
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/drybridge/index.htm#EOOMRD &
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/drybridge/index.htm#OMB or, more specifically,
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/EOOMRDwStyle.xml &
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/M-13-13wStyle.xml 

 

It would be good to include in the online repository required by the EO
<http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/EOOMRDwStyle.xml#_99335920-b921-11e2-b73
c-3dce79ad226c>  the StratML standard (ANSI/AIIM 21:2009 & 22:2011) as well
as the tools, applications, and services supporting the standard.  

 

It would also be good for agencies to publish their required progress
reports
<http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/EOOMRDwStyle.xml#_bc464dc2-b922-11e2-afc
1-3a2d7aad226c>  in StratML Part 2
<http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/index.htm#Part2> , Performance Plan/Report,
format.

 

Hopefully, StratML Part 3 <http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/index.htm#Part3> ,
Additional Elements, will be published soon as an AIIM best practice.  Its
central focus is to more fully address the data requirements implicit in
GPRAMA, albeit in ways generically applicable to all organizations
worldwide.  It will be issued as a best practice rather than a standard to
expedite publication and solicit feedback for subsequent improvement in the
standardization process.

Subject: Ground-Breaking U.S. Open Data Policy Released!

 

Hi all--

 

Today, President Obama issued an Executive Order
<http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/05/09/executive-order-makin
g-open-and-machine-readable-new-default-government->  and Open Data Polic
<http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/2013/m-13-13.pd
f> y that are ground-breaking in their requirement for U.S. agencies to open
up new data and information, present those in human- and machine-readable
formats, and will help to usher in the next stage of open data innovation.

Those of us at the Data.gov team are seeking your great ideas and
constructive criticism as we move forward to the next phase of Data.gov. We
want to scale up the quality and quantity of data, be more helpful to
American businesses and entrepreneurs looking to use government data and
research, more clearly support learning in classrooms, get government data
in front of researchers and journalists, and bring the power of open data to
American citizens. 

It's all about getting you to the data you need as quickly as possible in a
variety of machine-readable formats with better search, more APIs, easier
ways to share data, more data resources federated.  You can see an early
view of our new CKAN-powered  catalog <http://geo.gov.ckan.org/dataset> .
You've told us via forums, list serves, hack-a-thons, blogs, social media,
and meetups around the country and the world that we need to have more and
better capabilities for developers and innovators.  We are listening.

Find out more details about the technical implementations underway
<https://www.data.gov/blog/under-hood-open-data-engine>  and let us know
what you think at Data.gov
<https://www.data.gov/developers/page/forum-topic/11?tid=28622>  or via
Twitter @usdatagov! Get the inside scoop from the U.S. CIO and U.S. CTO on
