THE US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has launched
‘openFDA’, a new initiative
designed to make it easier for web
developers, researchers and the
public to access large, valuable
public health datasets collected by
the agency.
The FDA said that the initiative
was in line with the recent
Presidential Executive Order on
Open Data and the Department of
Health and Human Services Health
Data Initiative.
The database utilises a searchbased
Application Program
Interface (API) to collect large
amounts of existing publicly
available data, offering developers
the ability to search through text
within that data, ranking results
and even enabling developers to
build their own applications on top
of the open database.
