Federal agencies using Azure to store data
ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft has set up a repository in which government agencies may upload and store their public-facing datasets so that they can be reused by other parties.
Agency developers can upload their data to the Open Government Data Initiative through Microsoft Azure, the company's cloud computing offering.
Potential users can then access the resulting datasets via a Web page or an RSS feed. They can also query a large dataset on the Web page by formulating an ADO.NET Data Services query.
