I really wish I'd come across it when I was doing my dissertation! Just a thought to add into your suggestions for contributors to open government. Although it's often forgotten I think information management is an important contributor. Knowing how to make the best of information assets is pretty fundamental. Right, I'm off to get that book now... Thanks for pointing out the O’Reilly book Dave. I really wish I’d come across it when I was doing my dissertation!

The 3 elements of an open government--collaboration, transparency, and participation—(as indicated by the O’Reilly book) can be easily handled with an effective social media strategy and utilization of proven Gov 2.0 platforms. At INgage Networks, we've been building on these social media trends and more, including crowdsourcing, public comment, and citizen community management for the past 10+ years. Our executive thought leaders have actually written a white paper that speaks directly to this topic. Title: Transparency, Participatin, and Collaboration: How Government 2.0 Solutions Enable Agencies to Meet the Requirements of the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Feel free to download it: http://www.ingagenetworks.com/white-papers. It’s #10 on the page.

For example, there are many otherwise helpful and bright staff in local government who, when asked for data in electronic format, simply don't get the difference between supplying a pdf and a spreadsheet. Both are electronic files after all, aren't they?
