2. Germany Releases Open Data Plan
The government of Germany released an open data action plan this week, pursuant to a G8 agreement in 2013 to improve open data efforts. The charter called for the member countries—which include Germany along with the United States, the UK, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, and Russia (which was suspended from the partnership in 2014)—to make openness the default standard for government data, implement open standards for publishing data, increase quality and quantity, and release data to drive innovation and improved governance. Germany’s action plan includes a description of how it will make more data sets on its national data portal machine readable and encourage cities and states to conform to the expectations set in the charter.
