GovTrack.us, Public Data, and the Semantic Web (O'Reilly)

[Posted February 15, 2006 by cook]

Joshua Tauberer uses XML to track US government legislation in an O'Reilly article. "No matter where you fall in debates over free software or DRM, there's one type of information that is unarguably meant to be free, and that's information about our government. The more knowledge citizens have about government the better. So how can we use XML and the Semantic Web to make it easier to get that knowledge, and to foster civic participation?"
