- Develop a Social Platform for Open Data (SPOD) enabling social interactions among open data users and between open data users and government data;
- Build Transparency-Enhancing Toolset (TET) as extensions for existing major Open Data Platforms;
- Develop a set of recommendations (GUIDE) as good practice guide for open data publishers for achieving higher quality transparency through open data.
