Baby Boomers to Gen X to
Gen M• Socialization now occurs primarily online
for the age group 6 through 30
• Fastest growing user bases to Facebook?
– 276% growth in 35-54 year olds
– 194% growth in 55+ year olds
• More people met their spouse online than
through work or friends—combined (the
numbers double for 45-54 year olds)
Reality is nothing but
an illusion...
albeit a persistent one

Maximum Flow of
Information and Knowledge• YouTube is now second largest search
engine in the world
• 1.5 million pieces of content shared daily on Facebook
• On-line newspaper readers are up 30%
• 250 million visitors each month to YouTube and Facebook
• Mobile devices will be world’s primary connection tool to the Internet in 2020
21
As big an issue outside your
organization as within it
Open Government Initiative
• Transparency promotes accountability
• Participation allows people to contribute ideas
• Collaboration encourages cooperation within government and with industry
22
Creating a Data Ecosystem
1. Gather data
– from many places and give it freely to
developers, scientists, and citizens
2. Connect the community
– in finding solutions to allow collaboration
through social media, events, platforms
3. Provide an infrastructure
– built on standards
4. Encourage technology developers
– to create apps, maps, and visualizations
of data that empower people’s choices
5. Gather more data
– and connect more people

“A Strategy for American
Innovation” published
September 2009
US Open Government Action Plan
• On 20 September 2011, President Obama
announced at the UN General Assembly…
• Contribute Data.gov as a platform
– India and the U.S. creating open source platform
– Will allow any country to create open data site
• Foster communities on Data.gov
– Health, energy, and law plus new communities in
education, research and development, and public
safety
• Launch International Space Apps Competition
– NASA and other space agencies will gather
scientists and citizens
– Use data for global challenges: weather impacts on
global economy and depletion of ocean resources
– A collaboration website will be created to facilitate
citizen participation
24
Data.gov
• Provides instant access to over 400,000 datasets in easy to use formats
• Contributions from UN, World Bank, and 172 agencies
• Encourage development of innovative applications
• Drive innovation and knowledge use across the globe

People Make Data Valuable
• A platform for engagement– A rich social experience around data
that promotes participation and gives people a voice
– Provide ratings and comments that can be shared over social media
– Recommend datasets and participate in communities
– Powerful visualizations
– Create a filtered view, a map, or a chart that represents what they’re interested in
29
• Provides developers the tools and raw data formats to develop new capabilities
• Partnership with W3C (eGovInterest Group) and with RPI for research in semantic web
• Connected to other open data efforts across the world
• Data hosted in the cloud
• Open source platform
• Builds on ontologies developed in specific areas

Achieving Global Leadership in Open Government Data
Green = government Blue = external stakeholders

Open Data for the Economy
• When the Department of
Defense released satellite
data…private industry created
affordable GPS devices
• Data from NOAA (National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration) helped build
weather-related business
• Opportunities for private sector
are limitless
35
Publicizing Data to Innovators
36
• Challenges and code‐a-
thons
(health2challenge.org)
• Many innovator “meetups”
and conferences
• Annual health data-
paloozas
• Over 139 applications
• 50 new businesses
• Thousands of lives
improved each day
Creating Apps That Change Lives: Eat Your Vegetables and Food Deserts
39
• Eat Your Vegetables uses
Health and Human Services
community health data and
shows obesity rates by county
• Food Deserts shows areas with
a lack of access to fresh food
• Combined can inform cities and
citizens how to change their
behavior
• Games like Hungry Hiker helps
kids make better choices
– Apps for Healthy Kids
sponsored by First Lady
Michelle Obama
Use Case: Economic
• Healthtap
– Provides free, reliable, and independent health information through the use of open data and by building the world’s largest medical expert network tailored for young mothers and their children
– Won 2010 Health 2.0 challenge
– Success invigorated expansion and new hiring at HealthTap
– Reaches to Data.gov datasets (along with others)
40
Real Outcomes = Better Lives
• The data delivered through the 172 agencies participating in Data.gov eases the burden on families in caring for a sick child or seeking medical information
• More importantly, the data as it’s aggregated empowers communities to make changes that improve the quality of life of citizens
– ReLeaf plants trees in areas identified by Together We Breathe as danger areas for asthma sufferers
– Cities see hot spots that trigger asthma problems for their citizens
• Each company in Health 2.0 used government data to innovate and create high-value jobs here in America

The Path Ahead
• Bring data up and out of government to the public ★
• Make data accessible and linked ★★★★★
• Provide simple ways to visualize the data
• Create communities to understand and apply data
• Connect and collaborate with small businesses, industry, and academia to drive innovation
• Develop open source open government data platform with India for global use and further community development
• Share with others to understand global issues
