www.socrata.com
on 05/17/2013
Excerpt: You’ve decided now is the time for your agency to get started with an open data program. But how do you decide which data sets to publish first?

We hope they will help you decide the best route to take as you kick off your open data initiative. 1.... read the full post.

Excerpt: A well targeted Freedom of Information request to the UK Department for Education and its consequent report hit the news here recently. It turns out that a claim by Minister for Education, Michael Gove, that “[s]urvey after survey has revealed disturbing historical ignorance” was largely based, either directly, or as a cynic might imagine, as a result of feverish, opportunistic retrofitting exercise (i. e. a post hoc rationale), on a series of PR related, media sponsored polls.... read the full post.
