Project OpenData Adds OpenData Implementation Guide

by

The White House developed Project Open Data (See project OpenData on github) – this collection of code, tools, and case studies – to help agencies adopt the Open Data Policy and unlock the potential of government data. Project Open Data will evolve over time as a community resource to facilitate broader adoption of open data practices in government. Anyone – government employees, contractors, developers, the general public – can view and contribute.

Recently, the project has released a implementation guide, designed to help agencies and orgs manage their information and data as an asset. The document focuses on near-term efforts agencies must take to meet the following five initial requirements of M-13-13, which are due November 1 – see the Implementation Guide
