Open government meets IT

Open government meets IT | InfoWorld | Column | 2006-06-28 | By Jon Udell

One of the speakers at InfoWorld’s SOA Executive Forum in New York last fall was Dan Thomas, director of the DCStat program in Washingon’s Office of the CTO. Earlier this month, he alerted me to a remarkable development. Starting in mid-June, the District of Columbia would begin releasing operational data from a variety of city agencies to the Internet in several XML formats, including RSS and Atom.

Very, very cool development. As more organizations (like government) start usings the Web 2.0 technologies, more people will see the merits and perhaps we will see more “free” exchange of ideas. Which is what the internet was supposed to be about in the first place.
