[Okfn-ca] Natural resource revenues should be published as open data | Open Knowledge Foundation Blog

[Diane Mercier]

With billions of dollars changing hands for access to oil, gas and 
mineral reserves every year, there is huge potential for corruption, 
conflict, injustice and environmental destruction around the extraction 
of natural resources.

We think that *information about natural resource revenues should be 
published as open data*, so that citizens can use it to hold politicians 
and governments to account for how public assets are disposed of and 
exploited.
