See http://semanticommunity.info/AOL_Government/Infograph:_Open_Governm... where you can use filters to see both data sets simultaneously for individual agencies like EPA! This supports what data.gov all open government data projects and products should be: Click 1: See the data, Click 2: Sort/Search/Filter the data, Click 3: Download the data, and Click 4: Share the results (especially on the iPad!)

This is pretty neat. I'm sharing it with the Social Media in Organizations (SMinOrgs) Community.

@Stephen - Feel free to reach out to Angie directly and ask her how she defined/differentiated the two.

I'm wondering how Angie Newell was able to divide projects into "Participation" and "Collaboration", since the latter seems to be a subset of the former.  (Is it ever possible to Collaborate without Participating in a project?)

Keep in mind that there are not special definitions contained in the Open Government Memorandum nor in the Open Government Directive that illustrate any special difference (i.e., a new context) between the two terms.

Andrew - great job! And to follow up on Jen's question, NASA would love to provide an update to our data. We could update the Google spreadsheet directly, or we could send you the data. It's great that you made it linked though - it allows for exactly this kind of continuous improvement. Question: Will our number update on the main infographic when we add the projects in the spreadsheet?
Also, stay tuned for the complete one-year celebration of NASA's Open Government Initiative in the next 24 hours or so. Ours is a bit "graphical" as well. :-) We're really excited about all that Open Government has achieved in the past year across all agencies - and it's awesome that Beth is still around, helping us spread OpenGov "GOODness"!

How unfortunate that some of the Open Govt collaboration sites are already history due to the recent budget cuts. It is disappointing to see the path forward and then have it disappear before it can be followed....

Jenn - Yes. And I am open to suggestions as to how we accomplish that...we currently have the data in a Google spreadsheet in addition to Socrata...so we could give editing access to agency folks to make changes. Or we could take submissions and make the changes ourselves. Of course, we want to make it as collaborative, transparent and participatory as possible.  It's the open gov community's data.  ;-)

Hey Andrew-- this a great. Is there a way to edit the data for agencies that want to add projects or maybe corrent some of the info?

Andrew, this is fantastic.  Answers to your very good questions later.
