Resources.data.gov has replaced Project Open Data. We look forward to your continued support and contributions.
On January 14, 2019, the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act ("Evidence Act"), which includes the OPEN Government Data Act, was signed into law. The Evidence Act requires the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Government Information Services, and the General Services Administration to develop and maintain an online repository (Resources.data.gov) of tools, best practices, and schema standards to facilitate the adoption of open data practices across the Federal Government.
There is still work left to ensure this project is archived properly and DCAT-US schema development continues. Keep an eye on Resouces.data.gov for updates.
Technology moves much faster than policy ever could. Often when writing policy for technology, agencies are stuck w/ outdated methods as soon as they publish new policies.
This Appendix is meant to be a living document so that collaboration in the open data ecosystem is fostered and the continual update of technology pieces that affect update can happen on a more rapid pace.
Help the United States Government make its Open Data policy better by collaborating. Please suggest enhancements by editing the content here.
This project constitutes a collaborative work ("open source"). Federal employees and members of the public are encouraged to improve the project by contributing.
