[openhouseproject] New York open records bill

[Josh Tauberer]

My home state, New York, is becoming the champion for open gov data. Go
New York! Just for a recap before today's news, we've already seen-


New York State Senate's "Open Senate"
http://www.nysenate.gov/open

NYC councilwoman Gail Brewer introduced a Open Data Standards
Legislation bill (anyone know of an update on that?)
http://nyfi.observer.com/politics/199/brewer-issues-statement-open-data-bill

Rep. Israel (NY-2) introduced POIA:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-4858


Via Slashdot, now there's an Open New York Act:
http://www.assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_fld=&bn=A10335&Summary=Y&Memo=Y&Text=Y
http://www.micahkellner.net/2010/04/07/kellner-bill-will-require-state-agencies-to-release-their-records-online/

This is pretty great. The memo attached to the bill explicitly lists the
8 principles of open gov data (which we now know to be either 9 (cjoh)
or 16 (me), depending on who you ask). It also refers to
www.thisweknow.org and the W3C eGovernment Interest Group.

The text of the bill itself says data should be permanent,
machine-readable, complete, license-free, etc.

I like the 8 principles and have been promoting them. What are the 9
and the 16?

Peggy,

I've been aggregating links to the open data principles at this wiki page: http://www.opencongress.org/wiki/Open_Data_Principles_and_Database_Creation_Principles

The 9 open data principles (the 8 plus one more) are described briefly in this blogpost: http://blog.sunlightfoundation.com/2010/04/12/a-study-in-transparency-the-open-government-directive-the-department-of-labor-and-the-open-data-principles/
