Data.gov at 15

==============

On May 21, 2009, Data.gov launched with a total of 47 datasets. After the landmark 2013 [Open Data Policy](https://digital.gov/resources/open-data-policy-m-13-13/) required agencies to create comprehensive data inventories and public data listings, the site grew to 115,000+ datasets from 88 organizations by 2015. These requirements were enacted into the [Open Government Data Act](https://www.congress.gov/115/plaws/publ435/PLAW-115publ435.pdf) in 2019. Today, Data.gov is nearing 300,000 datasets and dataset collections in the catalog, harvested from over 100 organizations, and counts over a million monthly pageviews from people like you, looking to discover that information. In 2024, Data.gov continues its commitment to open government data and transparency. Thank you for 15 years!
