Vision

Publication of government information as standardized, machine-readable data.

Mission

The Data Transparency Coalition advocates on behalf of the private sector and the public interest for the publication of government information as standardized, machine-readable data.

Values

Data Standards
We believe governments should adopt non-proprietary data standards for the information they generate or collect, and publish such information as machine-readable data, especially with regard to their spending, regulatory, legislative, and judicial activity.
Machine-Readability
Interoperability
The transformation of public information generated and received by governments from disconnected documents into interoperable open data will:
Accountability
Strengthen democratic accountability by making public data more accessible for citizens and watchdogs;
Democracy

Management
Enhance government management by improving data sharing and analytics capabilities;
