In May 2009, Data.gov was an experiment. There were questions: would people use the data? would agencies share the data? and would it make a difference? We've all come a long, long way to answering those questions, starting with only 47 datasets and having 105,000 datasets today. We realized that this was never simply about opening up government data, but rather about growing and nurturing an open data ecosystem to improve the lives of citizens.
Hundreds of companies, like those featured at the Open Data 500, are using data to create services and products. From agriculture to housing—businesses of all shapes and sizes are reliant on government data. During the last five years, there have been moments when a company or community was poised to use open data at a moment of crisis or opportunity.
