From Pilots to Kickoff: The Open Data Initiative - ICANN

"ICANN's Open Data Initiative produced a number of early pilots as part of an exercise in making data available via both an application program interface (API) and online, interactive tools. These pilots were open for feedback and allowed researchers and the community to access data in convenient formats, as well as a set of tools to interpret and visualize the data. The early pilots were all based on the same data sets, but each of them were implemented through different tools and approaches."
