What is Being Said? ‘Press Coverage of the UK data.gov Continues’

London: 26 January 2010

Following the UK Cabinet Office’s announcement on the launch of the one-stop shop for data, the ePSIplatform published a collation of news coverage, called: UK data.gov + 2 days.

About Data.gov.uk

“The site called data.gov.uk contains more than 2500 sets of data from across government. All of the data is non-personal and in a format that can be reused by any individual or business to create innovative new software tools, such as applications about house prices, local amenities and services, or access to local hospitals.”

  • See data.gov.uk for blogs, forum and ideas about how data is and can be used.

Now, 6 days on since the launch the international press coverage continues. It is extensive and we’ve prepared an updated collation. If we’ve missed some important coverage European or international, let us know for the next update: ePSIplatform Team.
