Transparent government or Translucent government?
As governments put more and more information on the web, governments should be focused on how to make that information usable to help the public understand how it relates the decision-making process. As noted in this post, Transparent or Translucent, simply loading data onto websites can serve to obscure how governments make decisions rather than give the public access to how and why those decisions are made. This can result in translucent government, not transparent government.
