[od-discuss] Socrata Definition

[Herb Lainchbury]

FYI, Socrata has released a "field guide" in which they have stated their
own definition of open data which reads:

"*Making data that belongs to the public broadly accessible and usable by
humans and machines, free of any constraints."*

Interesting that they include machines.
