The Open Data movement aims to make large datasets available in useable formats (i.e., raw, machine-readable) so that anyone can use the data for building applications, research, analysis and other uses. Many researchers are placing their data in open-access repositories. Governments have also launched open-data initiatives that provide public access to government-managed datasets.
Open government data aims to create greater transparency in government, enabling citizens to hold governments accountable and make use of data for the public good.
