As part of a trend for opening up publicly funded data, the Cabinet Office’s Power of Information Taskforce has set up a competition to fund projects using public data: Show us a better way. From the site:
The Power of Information Taskforce is helping government become more open, transparent and effective through better use of published information.
This competition is asking for your help in developing better ways to publish the vast swathes of non-personal information that the government collects & creates on your behalf
Public data is your data. Tell us what you’d build with it and you could win £20k to develop your idea to the next level.
The main licence for the government data (non-Ordnance Survey) is the Click Use PSI licence by the Office of Public Sector Information, which is quite liberal in its terms. It meets the terms of the Open Definition by the Open Knowledge Foundation as an open licence.
