W3C eGovernment Wiki: "eGovernment Interest Group
The mission of the eGovernment Interest Group (eGov IG) is to explore how to improve access to government through better use of the Web and achieve better government transparency using open Web standards at any government level (local, state, national and multi-national). The eGov IG is designed as a forum to support researchers, developers, solution providers, and users of government services that use the Web as the delivery channel, and enable broader collaboration across eGov practitioners.

Nodalities � Blog Archive � LOD Around-the-Clock (LATC): "The challenge that all of these accidental technologists face is how to surface data and bring data together in meaningful ways. As Google’s chief economist Hal Varian has said, the scarce factor is no longer the data, which is essentially free and ubiquitous, but now the “scarce factor is the ability to understand that data and extract value from it.”
The emerging Web of Linked Data is the largest source of this data—multi-domain, real-world and real-time data—that currently exists. As data integration and information quality assessment increasingly depends on the availability of large amounts of real-world data, these new technologists are going to need to find ways to connect to the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud."

Nodalities � Blog Archive � “Linked Data” at the Guardian: "During October at Guardian News & Media we announced a change in our Open Platform Content API. For the first time, developers and users could query our database of over 1 million content items by using the common external identifiers of a MusicBrainz ID or an ISBN number. It is our first step into the world of ‘Linked Data’.
The Open Platform Content API was launched as a beta in 2009, and earlier this year was launched as a commercial product, allowing partners to re-use Guardian & Observer content in a variety of different ways. There is, for example, a Wordpress plugin that easily allows you to include Guardian content in your blog, and developers have built applications like a bespoke recipe search on top of the data. It is a unique proposition amongst news organisations on the web, and as well as the Content API itself, the Open Platform also includes publishing the source data behind Guardian journalism on the Data Store, and providing a search engine for Government datasets from around the world."
