Sharing worldwide We are sharing documents and data worldwide, routinely with people we don’t know. We’ll hear a lot during this conference about why governments share and the benefits. If achieved, it will transform how governments serve their citizens in the 21st Century.Tuesday, November 1, 2011 4

IN 3 BRIEF YEARS ... Starting in 2008, a few heads of state directed open government data to be published on the Web ... Last month (September 2011), Presidents Obama (USA) and Rousseff (Brazil) endorsed the Open Government Partnership, along with 7 other nations Each launched their government’s National Plans during the meeting of the UN General AssemblyTuesday, November 1, 2011 13
WHAT HAS A STANDARD EVER DONE FOR ME? Web standards are the reason .... The World Wide Web in less than 20 years became the most extensible, robust information network ever created That a data sharing revolution is even possible We can share open documents and open dataWeb standards are the reason .... Consider the alternative ... Closed. This possibility is possible without advocates for Open Standards.Tuesday, November 1, 2011 14
