Data.gov Surpasses 100,000 Datasets
The number of datasets on Data.gov has increased from 47 to more than 100,000 - with new sets being added continuously, Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag announced Friday in a blog post. The Web site was launched in May by White House Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra to provide raw feeds of government information from a range of agencies and departments. Since its launch, Data.gov has received more than 18 million hits. "The early response has been very positive. Individuals and organizations are not only viewing the data, but are also improving upon our work by analyzing and repurposing the information," Orszag wrote.
