Making Open Data Real: A Public Consultation

The government are consulting on their forthcoming open data strategy:

The Open Data consultation paper sets out Government’s proposed approach for Transparency and Open Data Strategy, which is aimed at establishing a culture of openness and transparency in public services. We want to hear from everyone – citizens, businesses, public services themselves, and other interest groups – on how we can best embed a culture of openness and transparency in our public services.  The consultation closes on 27 October 2011.

This is definitely something could benefit crime analysis, we going to put some serious thought into a response and I'd encourage anyone else who is interested to respond to the consultation.
