U.S.: Administration Plans to Expand Online Government Data Site

From an Article by Aliya Sternstein:

A comprehensive online warehouse of downloadable federal statistics is expected soon to add clickable tags that allow users to search and catalog related content, the White House chief information officer said on Thursday.

"We want to be able to get multiple tagging. We've seen in social networking, that's been extremely useful," Vivek Kundra said of the features coming in a few months to the next version of Data.gov.

Toward the end of June, Kundra's office also will unveil a publicly accessible Web application that will quantify the progress of federal IT programs, allowing taxpayers to see whether the projects are on schedule and within budget. "We're going to power a lot of that through Data.gov," he said. "The idea is it's better to create platforms that are horizontal in nature, [but] what I don't want to do is give the impression that this is all going to happen overnight."
