Release government data in free, open, available, accessible formats
Web and technical standards, as tools and proven via best practices, if used, will provide the government with normalized and flexible infrastructure at all levels of technical architecture.
"Web and technical standards, as tools and proven via best practices, if used, will provide the government with normalized and flexible infrastructure at all levels of technical architecture. The adoption of web standards across all agencies of government will ensure that not only today's needs and demands are met but also those of the future. As mentioned previously, today many citizens may not know what types of data or information they want, only after some experimentation and sharing occurs on the part of the Government will the Government and many others begin to realize what is needed, why it is needed, and why it is important. Lets start with the base, the tools, and the technologies to build the promise of the future. Lets ensure data can be linked, discoverable, accessible, and available... W3C standards can significantly help."
