[apologies for cross-posting!] This week's call from data.gov.uk may be of interest:
http://www.data.gov.uk/blog/government-data-get-involved-0 Now is an excellent opportunity to highlight unpublished datasets which the government holds which would be useful as open data! >From the article: *The inventory of currently unpublished datasets will start to go live on data.gov.uk from 2nd September at 1700 for everyone to see what data the government holds.* *This is where it gets interesting. We want to see what you think. So, you will have a chance to assess any of the unpublished items that you are interested in. Whether you are an academic, journalist, interested individual, entrepreneur, small to medium sized enterprise, big business, social enterprise, charity, or anyone else with an interest in government data we want you to tell us what we should be releasing and why.* *.... * *Your responses will be published on data.gov.uk so that other users can see all of your input. The Cabinet Office Transparency Team, Departments, Open Data User Group and the Public Sector Transparency Board will start the process of assessing and prioritising data releases and assembling the National Information Infrastructure from 16th Septem**ber. As such, the earlier you can give the feedback, the more likely it is to be taken into account.* *.... * *You are also invited to a launch event<http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/event/8134429297> on the 10th September. It will be hosted by the Cabinet Office Transparency Team at 1 Horse Guards Road, SW1A 2HQ. * Cheers, Laura * ** ** *
