The Data Transparency Coalition

The primary purpose of the corporation is to work for the enactment of federal and state laws to advance the common business interests of the organization's members. In addition, the purpose of dtc is to support and promote government policies and actions requiring federal agencies to publish their data online, using standardized, machine-readable, nonproprietary languages. Enactment of these laws and promulgation of these agency policies will improve business conditions for the coalition's members by improving the efficiency of private markets and by giving investors and customers better access to regulatory filings. These new laws and policies will generate new opportunities for the technology industry in "big data" search and analysis, compliance solutions, citizen engagement, implementation and data republication.
