Open Data Initiative Recommendations for 2017

"The 'open data' movement — the push to make government information accessible and transparent — has been on the upswing. In 2013, U.S. the government launched a groundbreaking open data initiative, calling information 'a valuable national asset whose value is multiplied when it is made easily accessible to the public.'

Open data advocates want to see current achievements in government transparency expanded even further. The recently published Action Plan for the Next Administration, a product of the Center for Open Data Enterprise, lays out 27 goals for the future of open data, calling for leadership across federal agencies and providing them with steps they can take to ensure that the drive toward open data continues."
