Réponses reçues à la question 1 de la consultation en ligne (Page 10)

Voici les commentaires que nous avons reçus en réponse à la question 1 de la consultation en ligne, qui est : Comment pourrait-on faciliter la recherche et l'utilisation des données gouvernementales fournies en ligne?

The Canadian government should decentralize/democratize information and use crowd-sourcing to sort through and present information. Government information should be published in open formats, with emphasis on transparency and the ability to comment on them, to share and sort them by concern and relevance to the people. Transparency and fairness should be paramount.

More extensive data holdings could be uploaded.

Keep improving the search algorithms on the OPEN Gov site.. I have been exploring the website and sometimes it is hard to intuitively know what to search for.. Maybe a better decision tree, so people can also find information thru root directories as well as a general search.. Maybe design navigable routes for either department or starting from a general query, like 'egg production in Canada'

Something like a Google search would help.

Also the option to email or online chat with someone who could help me find what I'm looking for.

The recent report in Embassy Magazine that StatsCan has a plan to make all of their data freely accessible online from their site is a great step forward. Other federal organizations should take this as a best practice to follow.
