Over 50 federal employees across four teams are working to develop data definitions and strategies for government that will promote transparency and effective uses of the vast stores of information federal agencies produce every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to federal Chief Information Officer Suzette Kent, that work will create the fuel and engine for future innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also reached out to agencies to ask for some of the best and brightest to be data fellows and actually work on development of the strategy, on definition of the incubator, to lead the various workstreams. More than 50 individuals from across the various agencies and some from outside government were part of that work,\u201d Kent said at an Oct. 10 Data Foundation event.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
