The Government has launched data.gov.uk and we should all cheer.
As taxpayers we pay for this kind of material to be gathered and many people could make extremely good use of it so having it out there and available is a major boost.
The adviser was even www godhead Tim Berners-Lee who gave a good interview to the Guardian about the development and his involvement in it.
I now intend to trawl through and see how useful it can be but from a cynical hack's point of view, I expect the front page news to be about what isn't there rather than what is.
