<irvin> I don’t think there is machine-readable data for “policies.” For now, the government’s efforts are mostly focused on open “data” rather than policies. Hope that the new Open Congress project would bring some breakthrough at here.

<jfqueralt> I can only imagine the complexity of the taxonomies yet the advantages are also considerable.

We've seen some attempts in other jurisdictions (UK and Autralia if memory holds), just nothing standard so far.

@undefined would you know who to approach about the Open Congress project?

<irvin> Some g0v contributors had joining the Open Government Partnership ( #ogp ) and Open Congress Council.

@undefined is there a central channel for Open Congress?

<bartgras> Hi. I’ve just listened to awesome podcast “Your undivided attention” with Audrey Tang. She mentioned in the show that there are “how to get started” materials available. I’ve been googling for a while but without success. Can you please point me to it?

<aelcenganda> What do you mean by “how to get started” materials?
