Open Data
=================
A set of modules help you get your website in line with the US Government's Open Data Policy

This set of modules creates pages that tell the world what data sets your Drupal website has and where to find them (if they're publicly accessible).

These pages will get crawled by the new data.gov to dynamically build out a comprehensive up-to-date catalog of public data sets.

Configuration
=========

The configuration page is at admin/config/services/opendata

Accessing the Views

=============

This modules generates two urls, the first is a view of the Opendata content types, which are available at /data the other page view is at data.json, which is the view that the data.gov bot will crawl

Accessing the Content Type

=============

UNDER DEVELOPMENT

More Info about the Open Data Policy

In May of 2013, the White House issued an executive order
stating that formats on all US Government websites need be machine-readable (i.e., data are reasonably structured to allow automated processing).

Open data structures do not discriminate against any person or group of persons and should be made available to the widest range of uers for the widest range of purposes, often by providing the data in multiple formats for consumption. To the extent permitted by law, these formats should be non-proprietary, publicly available, and no restrictions should be placed upon their use.

Sam,

If you don't mind, I have a mentee right now that would like to tackle this. I'm going to assign it to me for now, and have him work on it.

Thanks for the help, @BeachsidePaul. The functionality works great. There are a couple content items that could use improvement, though.

First, in credits.html, there's no link set for madmatter23. Could you add his user link in there, please?

The second is that there is not content in the accessing-content section, though there are two files. Could you get rid of the one without the file extension and add some text in the html version? If there's nothing to write for that, maybe there just shouldn't be such a section?

No problem Barrett, glad I could help a little bit at least.

I couldn't/can't find madmatter23's user I.D, will be happy to fix if you can give me the link. Will try to get rid of the extra accessing-content file. I don't know enough about the project details to write the text so I'll take it out of the equation unless someone else wants to throw me some text for the file. Paul

Thanks, Paul. It looks like madmatter23 is grasmash on d.o (https://drupal.org/user/455714). I'd say just remove the accessing-content section entirely and it can be added back in later if needed.

Okay, here's another try Barrett, I deleted the accessing-content section/file and I removed the reference to madmatter23, the grasmash link was already there. Hope this helps! Paul
