Center for Open Data Enterprise

The Center for Open Data Enterprise (CODE), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., was founded in January 2015. CODE’s mission is to maximize the value of open and shared data for the public good, by working with government agencies, businesses, nonprofits, and researchers who are both data providers and data users. This includes promoting the application of fully open data - free, publicly available data that anyone can access and use, without limitation- as well as strategies for sharing and exchanging data that requires privacy or security restrictions.
‍
Since its inception, CODE has held more than two dozen Roundtables and Workshops with the White House and federal agencies focusing on topics including medical research and health care, energy and the environment, and federal data strategy. CODE has also developed informational materials and recommendations to promote the use of government data and public-private collaboration around data sharing and application. In addition to working with government agencies in the U.S. and internationally, CODE partners with private sector companies, foundations, and other nonprofit organizations to achieve its mission.
