Guam data online

Looking at GuamWatchDog, the Pacific Daily News index of searchable data sources at Gov Guam. It's a nice start, but it has a long way to go.

The new federal CIO Vivek Kundra has plans to vastly expand searchable databases at a project he is planning called data.gov. It’s due to launch in late May.

In his prior position, Kundra was chief technology of the District of Columbia. He built out a long list of data sources in what they call a Data Catalog.

I think Kundra will help push local governments, including Guam, in the direction of sharing more data online. But it may take legislative push to make it happen.
