Overview[]
The Open Government Data Initiative (OGDI) is a cloud-based, open software solution that enables publicly-available government data to be easily accessed using open data and open development protocols.
Overview[]
The Initiative, led by Microsoft, promotes the use of open data by enabling its accessibility and re-use via a cloud-based open development repository. Government datasets can be loaded into open data containers which are then easily accessible by citizens, communities, and developers for analysis and development purposes. The high availability and reliability of the Microsoft cloud platform means that large volumes of data can be loaded and published at minimal cost with high scalability.
