* This is a list in progress of information about open data policies, including case studies and guidelines, links to institutional open data policies, such as those at colleges and universities and government organizations, as well as journals with open data policies. These policies set guidelines and rules to allow transparent public access to institutional and organizational information.

* The Freedom of Information Act broke ground for more transparent government information in the United States. "For a long time now, there's been too much secrecy in this city... The old rules said that if there was a defensible argument for not disclosing something to the American people, then it should not be disclosed. That era is now over." --President Obama on the Freedom of Information Act, January 21, 2009
