19. What  Are  the  Sec=on  Headers?   •  ???????  
20. The  Next  Day’s  Headline   •  “President  Obama  con1nued  his  technology-­‐ fueled  strategy  to  open  government  by  making   economic,  environmental,  and  other   government  informa1on  available  on  a  single   website,  allowing  the  public  to  create  ‘mash-­‐ ups’  that  transform  raw  data  into  useful   knowledge.”  
21. The  Proposal   •  Create  a  one-­‐stop  online  web  site  for  free   access  to  data  across  all  agencies  that  would   allow  the  public  to  easily  find,  use,  and   repackage  data  held  and  generated  by  the   government.  Key  elements:   – Create  data.gov  website   – Presiden=al  memorandum  requiring  agencies  to   contribute  data  feeds   – Data  posted  in  industry  standard  formats  for  re-­‐ use  by  the  public    
22. Background     •  Currently  agency  data  is  hard  to  find,  published  in   proprietary  formats,  and  does  not  take  advantage  of   ci=zen  engagement  to  add  value  to  the  raw   informa=on.   •  During  the  campaign,  President  Obama  promised  to   make  government  data  “available  online  in  universally   accessible  formats  to  allow  ci=zens  to  make  use  of  that   data  to  comment,  derive  value,  and  take  ac=on  in  their   own  communi=es.”   •  Governments  such  as  the  District  of  Columbia  have   demonstrated  that  publishing  data  in  this  way  spurs   collabora=on  between  ci=zens  and  their  government.  
23. Implementa=on  and  Resources   •  GSA  will  set  up  and  operate  the  website  under   the  direc=on  of  the  CIO   •  $100k  to  set  up,  leveraging  exis=ng  GSA   webmaster  resources   •  Minimal  =me  commitment  by  agency   webmasters  to  iden=fy  data  sources  
24. Stakeholders   •  “Data  intensive”  agencies  (e.g.,  EPA,  HHS,   NBER)   •  Outside  transparency  groups  (e.g.,  Sunlight   Founda=on,  OMB  Watch)   •  OMB  
25. Key  Risks     •  Demand  for  greater  government   accountability  by  ci=zens  and  interest  groups   •  Expecta=on  to  maintain  high-­‐quality  and   increasing  quan==es  of  data  over  =me   •  Bureaucra=c  process  hinders  rapid  rollout  
26. ! Seeing  is  Believing  
27. Ideas  for  Sec=on  Headings   •  Catchy  Title   •  Next  Day’s  Headline   •  The  Challenge  and  Why   It  MaTers   •  How  It  Serves  Priori=es   •  Use  Cases   •  Key  Features   •  Background  including   Case  Study/Other   Examples   •  Implementa=on   Op=ons   •  Roll  Out  Plan  and   Timeline   •  Costs   •  Metrics   •  Stakeholders  and   Partners   •  Risks   •  Mockups
