The document discusses how government open data and APIs can enable civic apps and encourage collaboration and innovation. It provides examples of apps created in Honolulu using open data from APIs, including DaBus for real-time bus arrival times. The goal is to transform how knowledge is shared by making government data openly available to developers and the public.

Getting started with Civic Apps

2. On a Mission from GOD:
Government Open Data
Framing the Mission
○ Open Data - Open Gov
○ Culture of Innovation
○ Collaboration
○ Data is the new commons
○ Gov as the stewards of data
○ APIs are the new enabler

3. Government as a Platform
Tim O’Reilly:
“This quest for simplicity is one of the drivers behind
Federal CIO Vivek Kundra’s emphasis on Data.gov, a
collection of APIs to government data. Kundra realized
that rather than having the government itself build out
all of the websites and applications that use that data,
providing application programming interfaces to the
private sector will allow independent developers to
come up with new uses for government data.”

4. Government Citizens

in our society.
