2: Public Data Listing
Create and maintain a Public Data Listing Other Information:
Purpose: To improve the discoverability and usability of data assets, all federal agencies must develop a Public Data Listing,
which contains a list of all data assets that are or could be made available to the public. This Public Data Listing, posted
at www.[agency].gov/data.json, would typically be a subset of the agency's Inventory. This will allow the public to view agencies'
open data assets and subsequent progress as additional data assets are published. Agencies, at their discretion, may choose
to include entries for non-public data assets in their Public Data Listings, taking into account guidance in section D. For
example, an agency may choose to list data assets with an ‘accessLevel' of ‘restricted public' to make the public aware of
their existence and the process by which these data may be obtained. Agencies' Public Data Listings will be used to dynamically
populate the newly renovated Data.gov, the main website to find data assets generated and held by the U.S. Government. Data.gov
allows anyone from the public to find, download, and use government data. The upcoming re-launch of Data.gov (currently in
beta at next.data.gov) will automatically aggregate the agency-managed Public Data Listings into one centralized location,
using the common core metadata standards and tagging to improve the user ability to find and use government data. The objectives
of this activity are to: * List any data assets in the agency's Enterprise Data Inventory that can be made publicly available
* Publish Public Data Listing at www.[agency].gov/data.json * Include data assets produced through agency-funded grants, contracts,
and cooperative agreements
