The London datastore

January 12th, 2010

Not what you would quite expect.

Dominic Campbell from FutureGov writes

The London Datastore will see City Hall release, for the first time, huge realms of previously unavailable data for everyone to see and use free of charge. This is part of the Mayors ongoing campaign to boost transparency and accountability in the capital.

The DataStore says

Welcome to the prototype Datastore for London. This is where we’ll be releasing all of the Greater London Authority’s data for all Londoners to see and use free of charge.

Releasing GLA data is just the beginning though and we’ll be using our connections and influence to request and cajole other public sector organisations into following suit.

Our formal launch is at the end of January 2010 with a larger number of data packages and an improved user interface. In the mean time join the conversation and give us your thoughts and feedback – we want to make this site work for you.

When data flows things happen
