Interesting but Im confused as to what kinds of data I can request. I would imagine the requests need to be fairly specific, but how do we know what data is available?
Reasonably specific - correct - however if you look at sites on FOIA requests youll see a lot of previous requests.Tip: Being specific helps ie: Im requesting the digital strategy document for 2008, or - Im requesting the analytics data on referers for www.example.gov for March 2008Reason: The person who has to fulfill the request must decide if its possible/reasonable - and handing over all the log files for 2008 might be a bit too difficult!As to data requested: Itd be covered in most organisations FOIA policy (theyll usually have it in legal section) and as long as it isnt commercially confidential, given in trust by 3rd parties, or Top Secret - youll usually get it.
Ok, Ill take a look...thanks!
