Government Data Act (USA)

The Government Data Act requires U.S. federal agencies to make their data more accessible, usable, and transparent. It aims to improve the quality, consistency, and sharing of government data by establishing standards and requiring agencies to publish data in open, machine-readable formats. This enhances transparency, accountability, and enables better data-driven decision-making for policymakers, researchers, and the public. Essentially, it ensures government information is more openly available and useful, fostering innovation and public trust.
