The document basically asserts that, unless agencies have a really good reason, research results AND the data used to produce them should be made publicly available. This is in my opinion quite different than the focus of the FRPAA, which does not address the all-important issue of data sharing and which is also a questionable intrusion of the government into the research publication marketplace (because research "results" in this context include a very significant value-added element--the peer review/editing process that makes an academic paper).<br><br>Anyway, it would be interesting to know if the Obama administration, which of course purports to strive to be the most open government ever, intends to continue (and follow up on) the policies set forth by the Bush administration.
