Prime Minister commits to new open data on health, schools, courts and transport

What I would like to know is where everyones road tax is spent, it's certainly not on the roads.  Recently drove across Western Europe and the roads put our UK ones to shame.

Lauren Milligan.10 May 2012.CHRISTY TURLINGTON BURNS won't be celebrating Mother's Day this Sunday with the rest of the US, as a mark of respect and a statement of solidarity to mothers all over the world less fortunate than herself. The supermodel conceived the initiative - called No Mother's Day - with her charity Every Mother Counts to highlight the plight of mothers who have lost their lives unnecessarily."No Mother's Day is a social issue campaign - unveiled at a time when people are thinking about their mums the most - to help raise awareness about a global tragedy that takes the lives of 358,000 mothers every year," Torrington Burns told us today. "The cornerstone of the campaign is a social issue film that features mums encouraging other mums to join in solidarity by disappearing on May 13, US Mother's Day. No emails, no phone calls, no social media - because we believe that sometimes 'our silence can speak the loudest for all mothers'. We know that this act of solidarity alone won't save lives, but it will raise awareness and that's the first step in making a change."

It's one thing making the data sets open, but quite another to relinquish on an election pledge. Hmph.

This means when you’re in action you get warm. So you should dress yourself appropriately in your ‘action suit’. An action suit is usually a thermal baselayer, a fleece type midlayer and a shell on top the fugitive dvd. Thin and not too bulky to climb in, but not all that warm either.

Im one who is firmly in favour of clear and transparent information. I would rather see the raw figure myself and believe i have the ability to interpret them myself. Far too often, data is "adapted" to suit a particular message or aim. I applaud the prime minister for having the openness to reveal this to us all.

From reading the article, these are large contracts for large systems. While the UK might want to favor open source (which I doubt, but that is a different post), the companies bidding on the projects are pitching existing systems that are then modified. Raytheon, one of the bidders mentioned several times in the article probably doesn't have an open source alternative. Likewise for the other bidders. So, even if the UK were wanting to encourage open source, if the major players don't offer any alternatives to their proprietary or custom offerings, what is the procurement office supposed to do?

Glad to see that David Cameroon has finally agreed to open data,however why is there so many aeras of public interest such as MPS Expenses, banking adnd tax avoidance still under the radar?

I'm all for open and honest data release. It's important to be transparent and allow scrutiny. However interpretation can leave a lot to be desired. Take for instance, the ridiculous situation over MMR vaccine a number of years back. A researcher's interpretation of results lead to scaremongering by the press and children died from a disease they should have been vaccinated against. Data is particularly important in matters of health but it must be used sensibly and especially not for political gain.

It’s encouraging to see Prime Minister, David Cameron committing to transparency in the way that schools are run. The plan is to publish information, or as the word is: data, regarding the effectiveness in teaching pupils across the achievement range. Obviously, when the Government refers to data, this tends to mean statistical information, and of course there are lies, damned lies and…

On the other hand we are being promised standardised formats and intriguingly, all this data will be free for commercial use. Quite how anybody will be able to make a few quid out of the local primary school’s special educational needs (SEN) successes is beyond me, but who am I to gainsay progress. At the very least, come January 2012, there will be a sporting chance of gaining some insight into an individual school’s commitment to SEN. Doubtless parents of dyslexic kids the length and breadth of the UK will be thankful for that small mercy.

"... to help to drive modern, personalised and sustainable public services."

I am glad to see this happening. Being from the US, it's hard not to rue how tragically many states here are abandoning basic responsibilities like this. I wish the US could emulate more of the UK's attitude toward public services.'

For the new Transport datasets to be truly useful, it will require the National Street Gazetteer (NSG) to be openly available. The NSG provides the only definitive reference identifier for a street, and NSG references are used for almost all local government street-related records.

Yet the NSG is only available to highway authorities, statutory undertakers and NSG contributors - and then only to those organisations who hold an Ordnance Survey Mastermap licence.

Without full, free and unfettered access to the NSG, it's hard to see how the new Transport datasets will be of real use.
