E-Governance: Data dot gov

Data.gov is the new venture of Obama administration to put everything online.
This will allow people to have an easier way to get the data. Be it the H1N1 spread across the country or other pandemic spreading around, or any other issues that can possibly have impacts on the everyday life, being able to see the data enables people with first hand information.
 
Let me quote:

The purpose of Data.gov is to increase public access to high value, machine readable datasets generated by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government.
