Wikipedia and Legislative Data Workshop. Conference March 14 - 15, 2013 Interested in the bills making their way through Congress? Think they should be covered well in Wikipedia? Well, let's do something about it! On Thursday and Friday, March 14th and 15th, we are hosting a conference here at the Cato Institute to explore ways of using legislative data to enhance Wikipedia.

Our project to produce enhanced XML markup of federal legislation is well under way, and we hope to use this data to make more information available to the public about how bills affect existing law, federal agencies, and spending, for example. What better way to spread knowledge about federal public policy than by supporting the growth of Wikipedia content? Thursday's session is for all comers. On Friday, we'll convene experts in government transparency, in Wikipedia editorial processes and decisions, and in MediaWiki technology to think things through and plot a course.
