Ellen Miller interviewed at Gov 2.0 Summit 2010
summary
Says the open‑government push inspired but underdelivers: agencies resist publishing raw machine‑readable data, enforcement is weak, and some released feeds are inaccurate. Lists concrete tools built on existing datasets: polygraph.com for analyzing press releases, influenceexplorer.com and transparencydata.com for bulk downloads, and opencongress.org which drew over 100,000 comments on unemployment insurance. Calls out USAspending.gov inaccurate reports and urges executive orders, stronger agency compliance and third‑party validation.
