NASCIO Recommends State Data Transparency Sites



September 30, 2009 By

"Citizens shouldn't be expected to know what agency is responsible for creating publicly available data." Oregon CIO Dugan Petty (pictured)

The National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) released A Call to Action for State Government -- Guidance for Opening the Doors to State Data to help state governments move forward with data transparency portals. "State government has already made much of its data public. We're providing guidance on how to make this data more accessible and available through a single state data portal," said Oregon CIO Dugan Petty in a release. Petty is co-chair of the NASCIO Enterprise Architecture and Governance Committee. "We're encouraging state governments to pursue the democratization of state data by creating a formal initiative that includes the creation of a single portal. In July we published a recommendation to state CIOs to adopt a common domain naming standard. This latest recommendation continues to build on our vision for the democratization of state data. These recommendations support of the Obama administration's objective for open government. That objective is enabled at the state level by creating a single place to look for state data. Citizens shouldn't be expected to know what agency is responsible for creating publicly available data."
