OPEN DATA BITS

The mission of Open Data Bits is to provide guidance and documentation for finding, mashing up, and visualizing open data to increase usability and interoperability with other data sets. We intend to provide data modeling advice that helps mash up different open data sets along with documentation to explain the corresponding logical relationships and transformations... Open Data Bits supports efforts to create standards for the delivery and technical architecture of open data such as the Open Data Protocol. Once a technical standard for open data interoperability has taken root, our mission can proceed with greater simplicity... Open data is available from numerous countries, states, cities, nonprofit organizations, companies, and other sources that make data available for public use at their respective websites. While open data provides great value, it is infrequently optimized for integration with other open data sets.
