Fwd: [White House announcement] We're making a lot more data open to the public

FYI.  Progress!  Note that they mention "machine-readable formats like 
CSV, XML, and JSON".  Now, how can we get these organizations to provide 
that information in Turtle, or provide mappings from those formats to 
RDF so that the semantics will be clear and information will be easier 
to link with other information?

On a related note, there will be a workshop on "RDF as a Universal 
Healthcare Exchange Language" at the upcoming SemTech conference in San 
Francisco:

We're making a lot more data open to the public
The White House  Thursday, May 9, 2013
 
Hi, all --

Earlier today, President Obama signed an Executive Order directing his
administration to take historic steps to make government-held data more
accessible to the public and to entrepreneurs and others as fuel for
innovation and economic growth.

*Here's what you need to know:*

   * The Executive Order declares that information is a valuable resource
     and strategic asset for the nation.
   * Newly generated government data will be required to be made
     available in open, machine-readable format by default -- enhancing
     their accessibility and usefulness, and ensuring privacy and security.
   * These executive actions will allow entrepreneurs and companies to
     take advantage of this information -- fueling economic growth in
     communities across the Nation.

*Watch this short video and find out more about today's announcement:

fuel job growth across America.
