IBM Opening Up Government Executive Report
Today there is a large challenge in government called the "data paradox". Simply put, having too much data and not enough insight. There is a change happening today to become more "open". This is a move from being only transparent with data to more of a sharing of data both internal and external to an agency. The link below is to an interesting article about this paradigm shift.

Comment by GovLoop on January 4, 2012 at 1:55pm If I didn't love my job so much, I'd love to do this - big data, analytics, social science - my favs
If you want to learn how to truly master big data; formulate and test hypotheses rigorously; design and execute experiments that actually tell you something; immerse yourself in the world’s best thinking on economics, statistics, sociology, behavioral psychology; and be taught by and work with many of the people who are actually doing the world’s best thinking in these areas, then start pulling your application together.
