Welcome to the Open Data Community!

Congratulations on becoming part of the movement to open and share data from governments across the world! This community bridges policy makers, technologists, data owners, and citizens-each of us wants to get information to people who need to make decisions each day. As a member of this open data community, you can help to make this happen. Make recommendations on data that should be shared. Create an app or mashup that makes that data understandable. Share your views on what the policies should be for making government more transparent. Together we can make a difference in our own nations and to help improve the quality of life for people across the planet. Join in the discussions below.

We think this will help the major search engines create better relevance rankings of Federal government data, where many searches begin.
