Government data
by David Weller
Info, not information
Data, now, well, data?
Databases galore
Needing some more
Government info
Is data consumed
The truth as we know it
Can I make a profit?

There once was a man named Mike Honda, A congressman us geeks are quite fond 'a, In markup sessions takes on the chairman, a hulk, so that we the people can get our data in bulk.
His friend maverick Joe likes transparency too, Senate votes in XML he says long overdue, At party politics he snorts, Because the public should see those CRS reports.
And last we hear of the executive's new plan, For a CTO and CIO... ...perhaps YesWeScan?

Opening Congress
blog net nerds bring scrutiny,
Sunlight Foundation
and a new limerick:

but the merit the populace brings,
thrives on data and docs,
not closed doors with locked locks.
Online access gives ideas new wings.
