Treasury Board: Accessible Manner

Sun Day Dept: "Raw information and data that departments accumulate in huge amounts is now going to be available in an accessible manner," Treasury Board President Stockwell Day announced at a news conference in Vancouver, according to Vancouver Sun. Day said the site will assist academics with research and allow companies to create things like smartphone apps that make government data more accessible to the public and the federal government launched a new open data portal Thursday, making more than a quarter million sets of data available for free. The site, available now at data.gc.ca, is a one-year pilot making more than 260,000 data sets available from 10 participating government departments. Over time, all departments will be expected to participate, said Day. As reported in the news.
