The Data.gov team collaborates with many other agency open data initiatives, including Healthdata.gov. Many data sets in next.data.gov are sourced from Healthdata.gov via their data.json file. See http://hub.healthdata.gov/data.json http://hub.healthdata.gov/data.json You will notice similarities in "technology stack[s]" for open data initiatives. This is great, as it promotes code reuse. Further, we utilize popular open source projects like CKAN and Wordpress so that fixes benefit a much larger community and so that more developers are familiar with the underlying technology, hopefully making it easier to contribute to open data initiatives.
