transparency

This week's data digest features plans for an Open Data Directory and attempts to understand barriers to open government data. Some great examples of how open data is transforming journalism are also featured and thoughts on the need to build a distributed data supply chain is expressed.

This is the first post in a series of roundups on transparency, democracy, and human rights. In this transparency digest we look into the challenges of transparency in the U.S. federal government, international corruption rankings and the complex relationships between government and the Internet.
