Fresh off the Global Open Data Initiative blog, by John Wonderlich:

    Announcing our new declaration on open data ? and inviting your feedback

October 22, 2013 in Announcements

*The Global Open Data Initiative partners are excited today to share a 
draft Declaration on Open Data, and would welcome comments and feedback 
on its contents.*

Open Data has enormous unfulfilled promise to change how governments 
work and to empower citizenship. Even as more governments and issue 
experts discover new potential in the public release of data, civil 
society groups still need clear guidelines and mechanisms for 
cooperation. Global Open Data Initiative hopes to help provide both, and 
we hope this draft declaration will help us fill that gap.

By building on existing efforts to gather guidelines and best practices, 
and by building a clear, joint voice made up of outside groups, Global 
Open Data Initiative hopes to provide a CSO-led vision for how open data 
should work.

        Please give us your feedback

While we?re excited about the start we have, we want to hear from others 
too. Does this draft adequately describe open data?s promise, and the 
challenges we face in fulfilling it? Are there other issues it should 
cover? Are there additional standards, initiatives, or guidelines to 
which we should refer to (if even in an extended notes section)?
