Tim Berners-Lee on the year Open Data went worldwide
At TED 2009, Tim Berners-Lee called for "raw data now" -- for governments, scientists and institutions to make their data openly available on the web. At TED 2010, he illustrated a few interesting examples of real world linked data.
Some of the examples he references include:
- UK Bike incidents - based on data from data.gov.uk
- Zainsville water map - created by Cedar Grove Institute for Sustainable Communities
- Where Does My Money Go - Open Knowledge Foundation
- California stimulus spending - California Economic Recovery Portal
- Postcode Newspaper - Newspaper club
- Afganistan Election data - National Democratic Institute
- OpenStreetMap Haiti edits - Port-au-Prince before and after
- Haiti OpenStreetMap
- Storytelling with data.gov.uk
