“As an essential volume for anyone interested in the future of governance, urban policy, design, data-driven policymaking, journalism, or civic engagement, "Beyond Transparency" combines the inspirational glow and political grit of Profiles in Courage with the clarity of an engineer's calm explanation of how something technical actually works. Here are the detailed how-to stories of many members of the first generation of open government pioneers, written in a generous, accessible style; this compilation presents us with a great deal to admire, ample provocation, and wise guidance from a group of remarkable individuals.”
—Susan Crawford, author of Captive Audience
“Just as he did during his time in my administration, Goldstein has brought together industry leaders to discuss issues of relevance in the open data movement and the practical implications of implementing these policies… This book will help continue the work to make open government a reality across the country.”
— Mayor Rahm Emanuel, City of Chicago
“A must-read for anyone who is passionate about what open data can do to transform city living.”
— Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2013Great concept of putting together innovative/forward thinking state/city government workers to discuss data transparency. An added bonus for me was the chapter about Louisville, Kentucky. People outside of our city typically write off our innovations before ever really taking the time to investigate our accomplishments because they are not even sure if we wear shoes! The truth is we have one of the most innovative/open city web sites in the United States. Louisville is still somewhat of a hidden gem. Our current mayor (Greg Fischer) has done a great job of keeping the ball moving forward for our city not only by making city data available to residents but by bringing an entrepreneurial spirit to city government.

Patrick MullaneReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 26, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Civic Innovation
Open data is basically data which is generated by state services and made available to the public.
This then can be parsed, and if released in digital format can provide value add. This books is a series of essays by participants who are involved in this, and provide practical examples on how Open data is used. For instance in London, there is how Crime and Traffic information being made available in the London Datastore site as part of a drive to improve civic innovation.
Overall an interesting read.

Interesting case studies
Colin E ManningReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 20161.0 out of 5 stars Compilation of first hand accounts
The is a compilation of first hand accounts that provides some useful insights from the coal face. However it is a poor introduction and the variable standard and style of the contributions can make for a disorienting read. It's the source material for a great book that didn't get written. Overall it's worth passing on this one.
