I wonder if anyone has any ideas for the Obama administration on how scientific data is published? There's a reporter from Wired working on a story in this area. Details below...
Jonathan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alexis Madrigal, Wired <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 6:32 PM Subject: [open-gov] Government Science Data To: Open Government <[email protected]> Hello Group, My name is Alexis Madrigal and I'm a science reporter with Wired.com. I'm working on a story about specific areas where the Obama administration could make scientific data from the USDA, Minerals Management Service, DOE, NIH, and other agencies more available and/or accessible. We're talking not just about having it online, but also in formats that make mashing it up better (the old XLS -> XML transition). I'd love the input of the group on either specific datasets that could get a makeover or success stories that have already occurred. Feel free to contact me at: [email protected] or you can call my desk: 415-276-8481.
