Open Data: some key players

Source: http://opencorpdata.com/2013/03/07/orgpedia-vs-opencorporates-competitors-or-collaborators/

As a means to deliver better accountability and information to the public, both are advocating that governments open their data as soon as possible. Without this, their missions are severely impaired.
