Summary:
"The United States White House has developed Project Open Data to encourage government agencies to share and produce open data.
According the Project: 'The White House developed Project Open Data – this collection of code, tools, and case studies – to help agencies adopt the Open Data Policy and unlock the potential of government data' ... Best of all, the entire project is available on GitHub and contributions are welcomed. I would love to see other organizations start to do similar things. Some organizations, such as Rackspace, have created support around open source coding projects. However, I am unaware of organizations doing things to standardize and encourage the sharing of open data. Does any know of any organizations working to create policies for releasing open data? If so, please leave a comment."
