Need to extend the deadline. By the way there must be some way to achieve the deadlines

Hi Joe,

The Sunlight Foundation Reporting Group is tracking the progress of the OGD, and they have created a Google Doc on which they evaluate the data sets posted to Data.gov:

It doesn’t look like they have evaluated the SEC’s data yet. They may be interested in your thoughts.

Cheers,

How many agencies met or exceeded the ambition goal?

I think we want to heap as much praise on the success here or we’ll never get another executive led goal or target with teeth like this.

Another example of not meeting the requirement for posting data that is “not previously available online or in a downloadable format” is shown in the SEC’s release of “Fails-to-Deliver Data under 10,000 Shares between September 16, 2008 and July 1, 2009″. When the data is so specific as to include a date range in the title and inclusive of a very unique date range to boot, this technically meets the requirements of not being previously available IN THAT DATE RANGE SPECIFICALLY, but the data itself has been available from the SEC’s web site since 2004, just in different date ranges but covering the entire span back through 2004.
I hardly feel this meets the letter of the law, and certainly not the spirit of it.
