1000 data sets!
London: 30 September 2009
The Digital Engagement Unit within the UK Cabinet Office has announced that they have brought together 1000 data sets from seven departments and have asked data developers to become involved via a selection mechanism before the data is released for potential re-use!
The announcement states:
“We have an early preview of what the site could look like; we are now inviting interaction and comment from the developer community. With over 1000 existing data sets, from 7 departments (brought together in re-useable form for the first time) and community resources, we want developers to work with us to use the data to create great applications; give us feedback on the early operational community; and tell us how to develop what we have into a single point of access for government-held public data.
We know it is still work in progress, and there’s still a lot to do. That’s why we need you to help us get this right. Let us know what features or changes would make the site better for your and what other data sources you would like to see here.”
