What if I need data?
Posted June 26th, 2009 by George
Wired.com posted an article and interview with Vivek Kundra, USA's new CIO. The benefit of this for us, as Depiction staff and users, is the new website he has initiated: data.gov
It is the clearinghouse of US government data, from census tracts to Center for Disease Control data, much of which can be imported into Depiction. (For more on this, attend our weekly webinar, Depiction 102: Adding, Managing and Displaying Content)
I've only looked at the site briefly, and am impressed by its ease of navigation, the ability to rate content and the sheer quantity of data available. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Happy Depicting!
