I tried earlier this year to define it and put it in the too hard basket. Now, the US CIO and CTO have a defininition that very succincly defined it:
"An open format is one that is platform independent, machine readable, and made available to the public without restrictions that would impede the re-use of that information. " Great article on Open government: http://bit.ly/6i9del Can we get an endorsement of the definition? I think it's an important one to support.
