'''OGPL''' (The '''Open Government Platform''') is a joint product from [[India]] and the [[United States]] to promote [[government transparency]] and greater citizen engagement by making more government data, documents, tools and processes publicly available. OGPL will be available as an [[open source]] platform. The OGPL combines and expands features of the India's "India.gov.in" and the U.S. "Data.gov" sites. By making this available in useful machine-readable formats it allows developers, analysts, media and academia to develop new applications and insights that will help give citizens more information for better informed decisions.<br />
