[open-government] New US Executive Order -- Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information

Thu May 9 18:38:36 UTC 2013

Sorry for resending it to the whole group but here`s Sunlight`s response to
the announcement:

Does anyone have good examples for similar initiatives outside the US? We
are interested in both municipal and national level inventories/information
listings.

The Canadian government created a research group to track federal data
holdings within departments but we can`t find an update on the actual state
of the project:

.

How about the Open Data White Paper of the UK?

Thanks a lot,
