Concretely, OpenSpending is:

- A central, high-quality, open platform for public financial information, including budgets, spending, balance sheets, procurement etc.

- A community of users and contributors to this database.

- A set of open resources providing technical, fiscal, and political understanding necessary to work with financial information.
