The 2016 Open Data Roundtables
The Open Data Roundtables are gatherings to identify
case studies, lessons learned, and best practices in open data across the Federal government.
PURPOSE
The Roundtables support the Federal goal to responsibly unleash government data for the benefit of the American public and maximize the nation’s return on its investment in data.
WHY OPEN DATA?
Open data from government is free, publicly-available data that anyone can use and republish. This important public resource has helped Americans find better value for college, fair housing, and safer medicines. In addition, it helps government agencies operate more efficiently, share information, and engage the citizens they serve.
ABOUT THE 2016 OPEN DATA ROUNDTABLES.
Federal agencies face many obstacles in making their data as accessible and usable as possible. Agencies have been working on these goals and the Roundtables will help identify scalable solutions across the government.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Center for Open Data Enterprise will co-host four Open Data Roundtables in 2016. The Roundtables are designed to achieve the following goals:
- Identify open data case studies, learned lessons, and best practices across the Federal government;
- Strengthen a community of technical, legal, and policy experts in support of open data; and
- Support continuity and accelerate the progress of open data work.
These Roundtables will bring together participants from Federal agencies, academia, the private sector, and nonprofit organizations. The Roundtables will include experts on all aspects of open data with technical, policy, and legal backgrounds to identify case studies, lessons learned, and best practices.
