Here’s some info on the recently announced “Open Missouri project“:
“In its initial phase, Open Missouri will serve as a portal where journalists, citizens and businesses can learn about the databases held by state government agencies. The portal will join the growing government transparency movement across the United States and serve as a model for other locations. My goals for the portal are to raise awareness of the data held by state agencies, encourage increased use of the data, and foster civic engagement at the state and community levels.”
And here’s some more background on the project…
