Data Transparency 2018
Mayflower Hotel | Washington, D.C.
On Wednesday, October 10, the sixth annual Data Transparency 2018 (DT2018) explored how data is being standardized, shared and used to create a better future for our society.
Our government and society are beginning to embrace data formats that equip insight-driven decisions and reduce compliance burdens. Policy reforms, new nonproprietary standards like the Legal Entity Identifier, and technological breakthroughs are coming together to deliver data directly to users. DT2018 was the Data Foundation’s flagship event.
Attendees joined us to examine the challenges, benefits, and solutions around information sharing across the government, compliance, and private sectors. With these changes comes greater transparency, analytics for better decision making, and cost reduction across the private sector. DT2018 celebrated keynote speakers who are leading the global movement from disconnected documents to standardized, shareable, usable data. The event also featured two breakout tracks, through this lens in specific contexts:
Government Data
By replacing documents with standardized open data, our federal, state, and local governments are improving transparency outside and informing decisions inside. Our Government Data track explored data-driven management, anti-fraud analytics, and future reforms like the OPEN Government Data Act.
Compliance Data
As long as compliance is based on documents, avoidable costs will continue to burden regulated entities. But as regulatory and grant recipient reporting become data centric, lines of code are replacing layers of lawyers. Ideas like Standard Business Reporting, technologies like blockchain, and initiatives like the White House’s Results-Oriented Accountability for Grants are leading the way.
Private-Sector Data
Leading companies are voluntarily standardizing and sharing their operational data, improving business models, and enabling new industries. The Private-Sector Data program track introduced the concepts, motivations, and benefits of private-sector data sharing.
DT2018’s exhibition hall highlighted the thought leaders behind the efforts of the Data Foundation and Data Coalition, demonstrating their private-sector solutions that enable these changes. Attendees represented leadership across federal agencies, state, and local governments, and the private sector.
