Why no one uses your government data

Read Original

This article critiques the common failure of government open data portals, arguing they are published for internal stakeholders rather than developers. It uses the example of a Bureau of Labor Statistics API with poor documentation to highlight how a lack of consumer-focused design, usability testing, and machine-readable formats hinders data consumption and civic innovation.
