The Obama administration's release Tuesday of the Open Government Directive for federal agencies excited the White House IT brain trust, but it wasn't lauded by everyone.

Gartner Analyst Andrea DiMaio wrote in a blog post that the plan that will institutionalize transparency, collaboration and accountability across the federal government relies upon "codified, institutional collaboration" that doesn't recognize that government workers must be able to interact with external communities to drive the effective use of open data.

DiMaio writes that the directive "risks turning into yet another exercise in compliance."
