OPEN! Government Data

Another listing of government data sets and other materials.

Relevant for topic maps as more grist for a topic map mill.

May have a certain sense of urgency in the United States as several of the government sponsored data sites will be going dark later this year. Budget cuts.

Why the transparency minded Obama administration and the secretive opposition would agree on less government transparency isn’t clear.

I note that agreement only to point out that if you are going to copy data currently available for later use in topic maps, the time to do so is now.

*****
PS: Not that access to data = transparency but in the absence of data, there isn’t even a basis for transparency.
