The Democratization of Data: Supporting Transparency & Openness Initiatives within State & Local Governments with Practical Solutions
The rise of consumer-facing Web 2.0 technologies has made citizens more technically-savvy, with ever-growing demands for data from their government agencies. The result is unsurprising: ‘transparency and openness’ have quickly become important watchwords within the halls of government. ‘Transparency and openness’ have become a cornerstone of citizen-engagement efforts in all levels of government.
In order to meet the ever-growing demand for transparency and openness, every agency needs to identify and embrace effective solutions that deliver richer, more relevant information to the citizen.
A Secure, Scalable Approach to Transparency and Openness
Enterprise mashups, identified by Gartner as a ‘Top 10 Strategic Technology’ for 2008 and 2009, can enable agencies to become more transparent through just-in-time information that is assembled, presented and distributed in a safe and effective manner. Whether your agency’s mission is civilian, military or intelligence-oriented, enterprise mashups can give you an effective new way to serve your citizens, your analysts, and your workforce with better data options.
Today enterprise mashups are helping every kind of agency make their data accessible, visible, and understandable. Mashups are currently being developed and used by agencies as diverse as Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the City of Seattle. Every agency can achieve the same results as these forward-thinking organizations.
State and local agencies that have embraced the ‘democratization of data’ have seen many positive outcomes from their efforts including:
- Credibility and accountability — better public access to data means a better understanding and appreciation for agency efforts.
- Productivity — citizens can ‘self-serve’ their data needs, freeing agencies for other projects.
- Effectiveness — better data accessibility data supports better decisions by government analysts and researchers.
- Participation — increased data availability supports greater participation by citizens.
- Creativity — more data will lead to improved problem solving and opportunity-creation.
- Confidence — more data means citizens can readily see the value that government delivers.
