About the Open Government Directive

Transparency, participation, and collaboration form the cornerstone of an open government. In 2009, the Office of Management and Budget issued an Open Government Directive to ensure that all executive branch departments and agencies take specific actions to improve transparency and increase opportunities for participation and collaboration.

Open Government Datasets

The Open Government Directive requires Executive Branch agencies and departments to post on their websites high-value datasets in an open, downloadable format. Additional datasets will be published periodically as they become available.

We seek your input to help establish priorities for compiling and posting additional datasets in accordance with the directive. Also tell us how we can expand the scope of available data so that you better understand the agency's activities.

Commemorative Works Catalog

The Commemorative Works Catalog (CWC) is a complete list of Washington, DC's commemorative works on federal land. Each record includes a work's title, location, a short description of its purpose, the landholding agency, the sponsor, the year of authorization, the year of dedication, the authorizing law, and the major themes represented in the work.

The catalog is also available as a shapefile that can be linked to other datasets for spatial analysis.
