Guide to the SHARE IT Act helping federal agencies comply with software code sharing requirements.
The SHARE IT Act Landing Page provides documentation, tools, and guidance to help federal agencies comply with the legislation. It requires federal agencies to share custom developed software code, including metadata about the project, with each other to eliminate duplicative government work. Our project offers a suite of tools for generating, validating, and maintaining code.json files as well as guidance to get started.
Our vision is to create a compliance path for all federal agencies to meet SHARE IT Act requirements while fostering an Open Source culture across government.
To provide accessible, user-friendly tools and clear documentation that simplifies the process of implementing SHARE IT Act requirements.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to strengthening and modernizing the nation's health care system to provide access to high-quality care and improved health at lower costs.
The CMS Open Source Program Office aims to facilitate the development, use, and sharing of open source software across government.
