Citability
What is citability.org?
Citability supports making public government documents and data available online and citable such that they can be easily referenced for public debate, commentary and analysis. This requires that archived versions of documents be stored and linkable so that changes can be easily spotted and reference links remain intact.
We will make the implementation of citability free and easy for government employees by providing modifications to free open source software, new free software, and extensions to existing proprietary systems. Read about how we plan to accomplish these goals on the Citability Wiki. Consider Signing the Petition.
Help us create the citability tools!
This event will bring together programmers and designers, in a fun environment supported by free food and drinks, to exchange ideas and work together to build free, open software that makes a real world impact. We will have government officials on hand so that, at the conclusion of the event, we will have the opportunity to showcase the new tools directly to government groups who are already excited about being able to use them. What we build could immediately affect the availability and accessibility of government information and lead directly to greater transparency.
