[CivicAccess-discuss] What’s in data.gov - An Analysis by Tetherless World

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

Sorry for the busy morning, but alas, today is a rich data in the open
access to public data world.

I heard Peter Fox (http://tw.rpi.edu/wiki/Peter_Fox) from *Tetherless World*(
http://tw.rpi.edu/wiki/Main_Page) speak a couple of weeks ago at the *ICSTI
2009 Conference Managing Data for Science (
http://www.icsti2009.org/01-welcome_e.shtml) and was very impressed with the
work they are doing.

Tetherless world has done some interesting analysis of of Data.gov content
that I think is useful and provides food for thought for other initiatives
that will be coming down the pipes in the future.  I think it is useful and
important to evaluate these projects in order to get them right.  You can
see their analysis here: http://tw.rpi.edu/weblog/
