How important is #OpenData from the US federal govt?
Good analogy from Amy O’Hara, research prof at Georgetown and President of the Association of Public Data Users:
“If you ask someone what you can make with eggs, they’ll probably say an omelet or an egg sandwich. Most people wouldn’t think of cake; unless they’ve made one before. That’s what federal data are like: the forgotten egg in the cake that everyone enjoys, without realizing where all the ingredients came from.”
