La directive d'Obama sur l'Open Government vient de sortir, et elle est pas mal

Comme indiqué sur le blog des organisateurs du Personal Democracy Forum, 

Obama Open Government Directive is Finally Out. And It's Pretty Good.

Ogi Directive

Concrètement, elle indique que les ministères doivent tous diffuser qd c'est possible les données publiques de manière téléchargeable, indexable et crawlable, voir ci-dessous 

"To the extent practicable and subject to valid restrictions, agencies should publish information online in an open format that can be retrieved, downloaded, indexed, and searched by commonly used web search applications. An open format is one that is platform independent, machine readable, and made available to the public without restrictions that would impede the re-use of that information."

Pour reprendre Techpresident.com, on se rapproche des 8 principes de l'open government idéal tel que théorisés par Tim o'Reilly :

1. Complete
All public data is made available. Public data is data that is not subject to valid privacy, security or privilege limitations.

2. Primary
Data is as collected at the source, with the highest possible level of granularity, not in aggregate or modified forms.

3. Timely
Data is made available as quickly as necessary to preserve the value of the data.

4. Accessible
Data is available to the widest range of users for the widest range of purposes.

5. Machine processable
Data is reasonably structured to allow automated processing.

6. Non-discriminatory
Data is available to anyone, with no requirement of registration.

7. Non-proprietary
Data is available in a format over which no entity has exclusive control.

8. License-free
Data is not subject to any copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret regulation. Reasonable privacy, security and privilege restrictions may be allowed.

A ce sujet, voir l'excellente interview du CTO de la maison blanche Aneesh Chopra par Tim O'Reilly !

opengov.se : la Suède s'y met aussi

Bon, voici le genre de message qu'il serait sympa de recevoir en France un de ces jours également non? Après avoir créé opengov.se pour plus de transparence sur les activités gouvernementales suédoises, la Suède libère une partie du code source et des données du site ! (cf email ci-dessous)

Sweden's http://OpenGov.Se shares its code for you to set up your own (public sector) data catalog website From: Steven Clift Date: Oct 23 11:45 UTC Short link

To: eGov IG <email obscured>>


Hi!

I recently released the source code for the opengov.se data catalog
website (which is an unofficial catalog of public sector information
in Sweden). If your government currently doesn't provide information
about public data sets you can now start your own catalog to increase
transparency and enable re-use of public sector information.

The application will be soon be used to power an open data initiative
in Finland and I hope that more people will be interested in creating
a catalog for their own country.
