Other Information:

Our commitment to the ongoing release of additional raw datasets is a key foundation for increased transparency at DOL. However, we also realize that releasing data alone serves a limited practical purpose if the public never puts the data to beneficial uses. Understandably, raw data can often be intimidating and confusing to many of our nontechnical constituents, and parsing datasets not only requires access to the appropriate tools but also a fair amount of technical know-how. As a part of this plan, we are also making a strong commitment actively engaging developers of innovative civic technologies to bridge the gap between the empowering qualities of raw data and the needs of interested constituents. We highlight some of our developer-specific proposals in the appendix.
