Government Information

Open Government Data

In an Executive Order signed by Pres. Obama, the US has announced its intention to make government information open and machine-readable, with the hope that such formats might become the standard for government data in the future. In addition to the library, sources like Data.gov continue to work, in partnership with the government, to make this information available to the public.
