On January 14, 2019, President Trump signed the OPEN Government Data Act (H.R. 4174). This law is a major milestone for open data, as it will require the federal government to make government data available to the public in a non-proprietary and machine-readable format by default. In addition, it requires federal agencies to designate chief data officers and establishes a Chief Data Officer Council to promote best practices for data management across the federal government. Now that the law has been enacted, what should Congress and the administration do next to ensure the benefits of open data are fully realized?
