The document discusses the benefits of open government data and transparency. It argues that open data can crowdsource solutions to problems from citizens, and that making data open and accessible according to three laws (being spiderable, in open formats, and with a legal framework for reuse) allows it to empower more people. It claims the biggest benefactor of transparent government is the government itself, as objectivity and transparency build credibility, and that open data can stimulate the economy by allowing data to be modularized and reused.
