Access to Government Information
The Internet and new technologies bring incredible possibilities for citizen participation to government. Never before have meetings at every level of government been accessible to the entire country, rather than just those who are able to attend in person.
Bulk Data
Information presented by the government is helpful to the public, but making information available to developers and the public in a raw, machine readable form is important. Making data available allows third parties to use the information in new and innovative ways, creating new value in government products.
