The District of Columbia
government (District) is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness
in government. Agency heads will work
together and with the public to ensure public trust, and an open and effective
government by establishing a system of transparency, public participation,
collaboration, and accountability that increases the public's confidence in
their government. The goal of this directive is to provide a tool for
prescribing and institutionalizing change within all departments and agencies.
The District has been a leader in
government transparency and open data policy in the United States. In 2001, the Freedom of Information Act was
amended to require that certain public records be published online. Since 2006, the District has been making data
publicly available on the Internet. In
January 2011, Mayor's Memorandum 2011-1, entitled Transparency and Open
Government Policy, was issued, recognizing that the District government needed
to continue to proactively provide information to citizens, and thereby reduce
the need for information requests. This
directive implements Mayor's Memorandum 2011-1, to require District government
departments and agencies to take the following steps to achieve the goal of
creating a more transparent and open government.
To increase accountability and
transparency, promote informed public participation, and create economic
development opportunities, each District agency shall expand access to
information by making it proactively available online, and when practicable, in
an open format that can be retrieved, downloaded, indexed, sorted, searched, and
reused by commonly used Web search applications and commonly used software to
facilitate access to and reuse of information.

agency resources. The publication of an agency's datasets shall exclude

recommendations based on their knowledge of best practices, the principles
