Development by Davis: “Impact of "open by default" on local government” plus 1 more

Impact of "open by default" on local government

Posted: 22 May 2013 02:00 AM PDT

Recently there has been a lot of buzz around the release of the White House's new Open Data Policy in Memorandum M-13-13.

For those of you that may not have read the memorandum in its entirety it directs federal agencies to make all data open and machine readable by default. Obviously there are caveats to that. Agencies can redact data that does not meet disclosure standards regarding security and privacy. The excitement centers around the language of open by default.

What impact does this have on open data initiatives at the municipal level, and as the Open Data Program Manager for the City of Raleigh, NC, I ask myself: How does this affect Open Raleigh?
