Des flux d’information RSS pour le suivi de mise en oeuvre de la Recovery Act (« loi de rétablissement »)

English Version

Comme chacun sait, la nouvelle administration américaine a adopté une politique très volontariste et injecte plusieurs centaines de milliards de dollars pour relancer l’économie.

Pour que les citoyens puissent suivre le devenir de cette injection de crédits, les agences fédérales devront permettre de s’abonner aux flux d’information RSS et permettre leur réutilisation dans les sites de la société civile. Une expérience à noter qui espérons le fera école.

Appendix 1 – Detailed Instructions on Transmitting Materials

This appendix currently includes transmission instructions for the following information flows: Major Communications (Section 2.2), Formula Block Grant Allocations (Section 2.3), and Weekly Reports (Section 2.4). Future guidance will include instructions for the submission of the reports required in sections 2.5 through 2.9.

For each of the near term reporting requirements (major communications, formula block grant allocations, weekly reports) agencies are required to provide a feed (preferred: Atom 1.0, acceptable: RSS) of the information so that content can be delivered via subscription. Note that the required information can be supplied in the feed or the feed can point to a file at the agency using the convention noted below. If an agency is immediately unable to publish feeds, the agency should post each near term information flow (major communications, formula block grant allocations, weekly reports) to a URL directory convention suggested below: www.agency.gov/recovery/year/month/date/reporttype. It is expected that the information files will be posted at the following URLs:

•                     Major Communications: www.HUD.gov/recovery/2009/02/16/comms

•                     Formula Block Grant Allocation: www.HUD.gov/recovery/2009/02/16/fbga

•                     • Weekly Report: www.HUD.gov/recovery/2009/03/01/weekly

•                     In addition to posting the files either via feed or the URL structure, agencies are also required to email the files to the following email address: recoveryupdates@gsa.gov. Emails should have a subject in the following format: Official Agency Abbreviation, Report Type. For example:

•                     HUD, Major Communications

•                     HUD, Formula Block Grant Allocation

•                     HUD, Weekly Report #X

 

Note that the body of the email should include the appropriate completed template as an attachment and should include the name, title, and contact information for the submitter.
