  Originally launched online in the mid-1990s, the current CGP came online in 2006. The CGP was originally the online counterpart of the Monthly Catalog of United States Government Publications. Commonly referred to as the Monthly Catalog, or MoCat, it lists all of the publications produced by the U.S. Government Printing Office from 1895 to 2004. The MoCat was discontinued with the December 2004 edition; now the continuously-updated CGP serves as the official record.

  Data.gov is the federal government’s open data site and aims to make government more open and accountable. Opening government data increases citizen participation in government, creates opportunities for economic development, and informs decision-making in both the private and public sectors.

  Data.gov implements The OPEN Government Data Act (Title Ⅱ of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, Public Law 115-435). The OPEN Government Data Act makes Data.gov a requirement in statute, rather than a policy. It requires federal agencies to publish their information online as open data, using standardized, machine-readable data formats, with their metadata included in the Data.gov catalog.

  Data.gov is working with an expanded group of federal agencies to include their datasets in Data.gov as they implement the law. In addition, the law requires that GSA work with the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Government Information Services to establish an online repository of tools, best practices, and schema standards to facilitate the adoption of open data practices across the Federal Government. That repository can be found at resources.data.gov.

  Data.gov was built with open-source software. Anyone, especially local, state, and foreign governments, is welcome to borrow the code behind Data.gov.

DOAB is an open infrastructure committed to open science. It runs on the open-source DSpace 6 platform. Metadata will be harvestable in order to maximize dissemination, visibility, and impact. Aggregators can integrate the records in their commercial services and libraries can integrate the directory into their online catalogues, helping scholars and students to discover the books. The directory is open to all publishers who publish academic, peer-reviewed books in open access and should contain as many books as possible, provided that these publications are in open access and meet academic standards.

  This approach extends the work started in 2014, when EBSCO and the H.W. Wilson Foundation created American Doctoral Dissertations, which contained indexing from the H.W. Wilson print publication, Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1933–1955. In 2015, the H.W. Wilson Foundation agreed to support the expansion of the scope of the American Doctoral Dissertations database to include records for dissertations and theses from 1955 to the present.
