The White House released a new digital government strategy “Digital Government: Building a 21st century platform to serve the American people“, followed by a Presidential Directive. In the directive the President points out: “
The main points of the roadmap include:
- data.gov is a starting point for new forms of data innovation
- tool/device agnostic (Bring Your Own Device)
- digital government is not about mobile apps/smartphones, instead it’s about connecting people to the data and have them help each other -> important for mobile-not-haves
- private sector and citizen innovators as central parts of the strategy
