TechTake: Who’s accountable for open data in government?

TechTake explores the bigger issues and trends in the federal IT community, and twice-monthly features a “Women in Technology” segment.

Ian Kalin, director of open data at Socrata and former White House presidential innovation fellow, chats with TechTake this week about the challenges, successes and security risks of open data in government.

Kalin warns the issues with healthcare.gov may reflect on what can be expected when the new data.gov rolls out, and may be a wake-up call for standards to be kept when creating government sites.
