Summary:

"A comprehensive guide to ensuring your open data program serves you and your citizens... With Insight From: City of Chicago, City of New York, City of Edmonton, State of Maryland, State of Colorado, Code for America, The World Bank, City of Baltimore, State of Oregon, and more.  ... For those in government, the push for greater transparency has not just come from citizens. Since the start of his presidency, President Obama has promoted transparency and accountability across all of government. Obama issued his first executive order, the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government, on January 21, 2009. It called for more transparent, participatory, and collaborative government.  And, the message in the memorandum was intended not just for federal government agencies but city, county, and state, as well. Leaders in open data have emerged in cities like Chicago and counties like Montgomery County in Maryland. Within each of those entities are thousands of government employees, at all levels of leadership, who have a role to play in the open data movement. And, all of them could benefit from reading this guide.  Other audiences include: [1] Elected officials looking to make history and move their constituency’s experience with government into the 21st century. [2] Those involved in education administration who want to make decision based upon facts. [3] Leaders of governments outside of the U.S."
