@Vision4Standard I agree! Hope open data advocates will take community standards to their local legislators.

@adrielhampton #opendata #gov20 #opengov #ca Other gov agencies need open data in an open public data format too.

There are two aspects and concepts to this proposed legislation. The first is the definition. There is no cost above the cost to create and approve the proposal. The second aspect and concept is implementation. There is a cost if the definition includes the use of open public standards as well as long term cost savings. It would be a gross mis-statement to claim there are no implementation costs. If using proprietary de-facto standards like Word, Google Docs, and other similar products are all that is definied, then implementation costs may be small. I personally am not in favor of the second option.

Cost savings are just one reason to implement machine readable formats using data standards and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to outline the savings. As a taxpayer, It is disturbing to me that an initiative with long term savings would be DOA if costs are assigned to it from the beginning.

Deep thinking. I wonder if this will be a large enough issue to motivate people to cancel their Google+ accounts?
