Eh, either you die the hero or you live long enough to become the villain.
Your first link included Office Open XML as one of its office formats. The US site is about data in "machine-readable formats" being released by governement agencies. None of it seems to indicate an effort to move away from proprietary software, just interchangeable formats.
- chris_wot 11y agoOffice Open XML is indeed an open format. And you asked me to provide a citation for my assertion that shows that governments are trying to migrate away from proprietary formats. For the U.S. URL, I should have probably been more specific: try http://www.data.gov/developers/harvesting http://www.data.gov/developers/harvesting "As part of Project Open Data most government offices are transitioning to make all of their metadata available via a standard schema contained by a data.json file. These are treated just as any other harvest source." Actually, I should have pointed you to Project Open Data really, found here: https://project-open-data.cio.gov/ https://project-open-data.cio.gov/ Citations provided!
