The Local e-Government Standards Body (LeGSB) was re-launched at the NWeGG Annual Conference on 7 November 2006. Established to support the needs of Local Authorities and the Transformational Government agenda, LeGSB is embarking on a journey to facilitate the take up of standards, which can then be mapped onto a Local Government standards architecture reference model and developed with the local government community.

The premise of an app store model for enterprises is simple: By removing the middleman, the famous bottleneck between the business and IT demand can be reduced in many cases. Application backlogs can shrink, consumption of internal and external IT resources will increase, and fierce competition to provide the best solutions to niches can greatly improve overall quality (the long tail of IT argument), all while reducing costs. At least, that's what is possible if we look at what's happening to the non-enterprise software market today.

Linked data is a powerful approach to sharing information across the web. It is enabling governments to publish their data to better inform and empower citizens, enabling companies to connect information across silos to aid decision making, and enabling developers to combine data from across organizations to deliver better services. As experts in all aspects of linked data, Epimorphics can enable you to get the most out of your data assets - help you model, publish and exploit them.

Our goal with Kasabi is to help make data as easy to use, and as easy to publish as possible. We also want to help people unlock the value inherent in data, whether that means making it freely available - in order to drive innovation - or to explore more commercial models. With this in mind, Kasabi provides more than just a directory of datasets: it provides a complete platform for the hosting and publishing of Linked Data.
