The document discusses open data initiatives at the federal and local levels of government. At the federal level, the White House continues to support open data through initiatives like Data.gov and participatory budgeting. At the local level, open data programs are just starting and will need to explain the benefits of increased transparency and how open data can help citizens. Challenges to open data include costs, proving value, political will, and engaging citizens. The document asks what further steps can be taken by governments, regions, and citizens to advance open data.
