Open-source Weave liberates data for journalists, citizens
Data nerds from government and academia gathered Friday at Northeastern University to show off the latest version of Weave, an open-source, web-based platform designed to visualize “any available data by anyone for any purpose.” The software has a lot of potential for journalists. Weave is supported by the Open Indicators Consortium, an unusual partnership of planning agencies and universities who wanted better tools to inform public policy and community decision-making. The groups organized and agreed to share data and code in 2008, well before Gov 2.0 was hot. Think of Weave as more programming language than app. Data is linked, which means you can view the same datapoint from many angles. The software reminds me of SPSS, from my college poli sci days. Georges Grinstein, a professor of computer science at UMass Lowell, develops Weave with a team of some 20 students.
UK Open Data Institute (Silicon Roundabout)

Print this pageEmail article The government will announce a number of open data initiatives tomorrow, including a new Open Data Institute near 'Silicon Roundabout'. The Open Data Institute will "innovate, exploit and research open data opportunities with business and academia", chancellor George Osborne will announce tomorrow. The institute will be directed by leading open data academics Professor Nigel Shadbolt and web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee. The scheme recalls the Institute for Web Science, an academic research centre proposed by former prime minister Gordon Brown in March 2010, which was also due to be run by Shadbolt and Berners-Lee. "We want to build on the outstanding work Sir Tim and Nigel Shadbolt have put in to 'making public data public'," said Brown at the time. However, the current government scrapped the £30 million plan in May 2010, saying it was a "low priority".
