=Description=

"At Gov2.0 this week, I gave a talk on the importance of information literacy when addressing transparency of government data:

“[[Transparency]] is Not Enough”

I address everything from registered sex offenders to what happens when politicians don’t like data to the complexities of interpretation.  In doing so, I make three key points:

#Information is power, but interpretation is more powerful 
#Data taken out of context can have unintended consequences 
#Transparency alone is not the great equalizer .
