This InformationWeek video features San Francisco’s open data initiative and DataSF.org. Executive editor Fritz Nelson interviews SF mayor Gavin Newsom, SF CTO Blair Adams, SF Director of Innovation Jay Nath and developers building applications from this newly-open data.
Nice article/video. Wish New York would follow SF’s example. The police recentyl said they are not in the business of providing data. Which I guess they are not. But eventually – public demand will force their hand I guess.
Perhaps you and readers of this post would be interested on a transparency site on a federal/congress level:
