[OpenSpending] Joined up data: Finding collaboration opportunities between transparency initiatives

Sun Nov 3 22:14:44 UTC 2013

Hi all,

At the Open Government Partnership in London DevInit released a scoping
study with the purpose to identify opportunities for collaboration between
five transparency initiatives across different sectors from aid and
construction to public finances. The study was completed in collaboration
with Open Knowledge Foundation and based on research by Neil Ashton.

You can learn more about the scoping study in this blog post [1] or read
the entire study [2].

The study helped shape a session at the Open Government Partnership on
Friday, from which Bill Anderson, DevInit from drew these points [3].

Have a look and let us know what you think about the approach for
addressing the lack of interoperability between standards?

Best,
Anders
