3.1: Data and Information Transparency

Treat data as a national asset.

Other Information:

Data must be treated as a national asset, “owned” by those whom it serves. Therefore, Data and Information Transparency are integral to the creation of Citizen Enabled Open Government. It refers to citizens’ secure, appropriate, unencumbered access to appropriate levels of government data as a normal facet of government operations. Several key initiatives, such as National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), Data.gov, and the Open Government Directives are building blocks that need to be pursued to achieve that mission.
