Microsoft is also contributing tangible benefits to the cause of open government data with the recently released Microsoft Open Government Data Initiative (OGDI). OGDI is an open source starter kit developed by Microsoft to help government agencies publish data that can be queried by using open web programming interfaces (API’s). Data housed in OGDI services can be accessed from a variety of client technologies such as Silverlight, Flash, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, mapping web sites, and more. OGDI enables government, business and “citizen developers” to develop real applications using publicly available government data regardless of skill set.
