Microsoft urged governments and companies around the world to share their data with other organizations to prevent what the company said could lead to a concentration of digital energy in the hands of the United States, China and a small number of giant technology companies. The software company on Tuesday fully supported the "open data" movement, which includes providing data for sharing and reuse by others, much as open source software has changed the way some computer code is produced. Microsoft said it would work with other organizations to open up some of its own data for wider use, while creating standardized tools and legal frameworks to make it easier for others to follow their lead.
