The city of Stockholm has launched open.stockholm.se. In an article in Dagens Samhälle Mayor Sten Nordin explains it is the first of multiple steps in a wider strategy towards more openness and open data, and that the intention is for Stockholm to be on the forefront of these developments. Earlier this year the city of Stockholm already provided an API service to some of its information.

While currently the new site does not contain a lot of data or information yet, internally there are efforts going on to make an inventory of what could be made available.

To keep informed of the latest developments, the development blog of Stockholm is a good space to watch.
