Title: Open Data: Changing the game
There is a real momentum around the idea of opening up data from governments, local bodies, cities and a wide range of organisations. Making this data available on the Web will lead to new opportunities in the creation of economic and social value.
A linked Web of data can make government more transparent, public and private services more efficient and accountable. It can empower individuals in new ways. We need to anticipate and understand these opportunities. We need a Science of the Web to do this.
