"Through advocacy, artworks, toolkits, development support and public discussion we aim to enable Manchester to become an exemplar of Open Data practice. By identifying data that can be made available, and looking at issues of data interoperability, quality and management, FutureEverything aims to make Manchester a city at the forefront of the OpenData movement."

A first step towards freeing London's data\n\nWelcome to the prototype Datastore for London. This is where we'll be releasing all of the Greater London Authority's data for all Londoners to see and use free of charge.\n\nReleasing GLA data is just the beginni

Lontoon datakatalogi

"The London Datastore has been created by the Greater London Authority (GLA) as a first step towards freeing London's data. We want everyone to be able access the data that the GLA and other public sector organisations hold, and to use that data however they see fit - for free."

" -- the CERN Library offers now the bibliographic book records, held in its library catalog, to be freely downloaded by any third party. The records are provided under the Public Domain Data License, a license that permits colleagues around the world to reuse and upgrade the data for any purpose."

"The report presented various roles for e-government in addressing the ongoing world financial and economic crisis. The public trust that is gained through transparency can be further enhanced through the free sharing of government data based on open standards. The ability of e-government to handle speed and complexity can also underpin regulatory reform. While technology is no substitute for good policy, it may give citizens the power to question the actions of regulators and bring systemic issues to the fore."

"Apps for the Army is the Army's first application development challenge, and one of the first done by the federal government. Recently, as part of the Open Government Directive, the Obama administration encouraged agencies to involve the public in challenges and contests to develop content and ideas for government and provided guidance for running these challenges."

Aims: 1) further contribution to Open Bibliography; 2) linked data creation and publication

"-- you can filter events then select "more" to see further details and a list of relevant publications based on the event speakers and the event theme; this can give a slightly better idea of what might be going on, as you can review the published work of those involved."

"Maantieteellistä tietoa hyödyntäviin teknisen palvelun toimialan yrityksiin keskittyvä aineistoanalyysi vuosilta 2000-2007 osoittaa, että julkisen tiedon hinnoittelu vaikuttaa selvästi yritysten liikevaihdon kasvuun. Yritykset maissa, joissa julkinen maantieteellinen tieto on ollut ilmaista tai enintään rajakustannusten perusteella hinnoiteltua ovat kasvaneet vuositasolla keskimäärin 15 prosenttia enemmän kuin yritykset maissa, joissa julkisen maantieteellisen tiedon hinnoittelu on ollut kustannusperusteista. Rajakustannushinnoitteluun siirtymisen jälkeen on havaittavissa positiivinen kasvuvaikutus jo seuraavana vuonna, mutta selvästi voimakkaampi kasvusysäys nähdään kahden vuoden päästä hinnoittelumuutoksesta. Julkisen maantieteellisen tiedon rajakustannushinnoittelu ei ole kuitenkaan vaikuttanut merkittävästi suurten yritysten kasvuun; PK-yritykset ovat hyötyneet eniten halvemmasta maantieteellisestä tiedosta."

"The British Library is to make its extensive collections of bibliographic records available for free to researchers and other libraries: www.bl.uk/bibliographic/datafree.html The UK national library has around 14 million catalogue records comprising a wealth of bibliographic data. The initiative announced today will help expose this vast dataset to users worldwide, allowing researchers and other libraries to access and retrieve bibliographic records for publications dating back centuries and relating to every conceivable subject area."

"The first outcome of the open licence agreement is that the metadata provided by national libraries to Europeana.eu, Europe's digital library, museum and archive, via the CENL service The European Library, will have a Creative Commons Universal Public Domain Dedication, or CC0 licence. This metadata relates to millions of digitised texts and images coming into Europeana from initiatives that include Google's mass digitisations of books in the national libraries of the Netherlands and Austria."

"This research, commissioned by a consortium of funders and NGOs (including the Information Program) under the umbrella of the Transparency and Accountability Initiative, seeks to explore the feasibility of applying this approach to open data in relevant middle income and developing countries. Its aim is to identify the strategies used in the US and UK contexts with a view to building a set of criteria to guide the selection of pilot countries, which in turn suggests a template strategy to open government data."
