Why government needs more tools to get open data to the people.

Ross Goldenberg, co-founder of SiteCompli, which leverages open data to help those in the New York City real estate market, believes government needs more similar tools to help bring open data to the citizens. He says SiteCompli has made the jobs of thousands of customers easier. 

"The ability to get more data from government, make it more public, make it more machine readable, and get it in the hands of its constituents in a meaningful manner has improved the lives of thousands," Goldenberg said.
