The National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) will be promoting the creation of public data catalogs by state governments.

NASCIO will work with the nation’s first CIO, Vivek Kundra, to model the same open data approach Obama initiated with data.gov.

NASCIO President and Minnesota State CIO Gopal Khanna said “this is a major step towards developing a national architectural framework and responding to citizens’ need for real time, locally available, accessible data.”
