December 7-8, 2007— This weekend, 30 open government advocates gathered to develop a set of principles of open government data. The meeting, held in Sebastopol, California, was designed to develop a more robust understanding of why open government data is essential to democracy. The Internet is the public space of the modern world, and through it governments now have the opportunity to better understand the needs of their citizens and citizens may participate more fully in their government. Information becomes more valuable as it is shared, less valuable as it is hoarded. Open data promotes increased civil discourse, improved public welfare, and a more efficient use of public resources. The group is offering a set of fundamental principles for open government data.

Sorting by comments shows that the Fukushima nuclear power plant updates were the subject of the greatest discussion, closely followed by Every Doctor Who villain since 1963 . The list shows that in two years we have covered a huge range of data sets.

Pro Bono Publico - Por la apertura de datos públicos
by probp on 13/9/2011 Recientemente se publicó la declaración de bienes de los senadores y diputados españoles. Esta información se publicó originalmente como PDFs , un formato que si bien es fácilmente comprensible por un lector humano, es difícil -en ocasiones muy difícil- de procesar mediante software , dificultando por lo tanto su análisis, en detrimento de la transparencia, la veracidad y la capacidad para contrastar la información presentada. David Cabo ( @dcabo ) ha realizado un proyecto de crowdsourcing, denominado #adoptaunsenador , en el que cualquier persona podía ayudar a transcribir la información contenida en estos PDFs mediante el uso de una sencilla hoja de cálculo. Y decimos podía, porque en tan solo 4 días , diferentes ciudadanos han transcrito de manera totalmente voluntaria y descentralizada la información sobre la declaración de bienes que había sido publicada sobre los senadores, y que ya se puede descargar para su análisis desde esta hoja de Google Docs .

The London Datastore has been created by the Greater London Authority (GLA) as an innovation towards freeing London’s data. We want citizens to be able access the data that the GLA and other public sector organisations hold, and to use that data however they see fit – free of charge. The GLA is committed to influencing and cajoling other public sector organisations into releasing their data here too. Releasing data though is just half the battle. Raw data often doesn’t tell you anything until it has been presented in a meaningful way. We want to encourage the masses of technical talent that we have in London to transform rows of text and numbers into apps, websites or mobile products which people can actually find useful.
