Opening Government.
One Dataset at a Time

Opening government to new audiences and constituencies is the 21st century battle cry in societies everywhere. At the heart of this movement is open government data, readily accessible over the internet, in a form that maximizes comprehension, interactivity, participation, and sharing, delivered at a fraction of the cost of today's data download sites. At Socrata, we call this social data discovery, and we've engineered the Social Data Platform for delivering citizen-friendly and machine-readable data on government data sites around the world.
