I love the carrot and the stick idea. I think in general carrots work way better, so there have to be incentives. The thing that leapt to my mind is efficiencies. So if indeed the individual government department can actually see utilizing that data to drive efficiencies that are required because of reduced funding to their organizations, that would be ideal. Then ultimately they can look for fraud and theft and other kinds of things that are going awry within their departments.
