Lots of inspiring reading in here.

One of my favourite extracts is:
“…unless there are good reasons to the contrary, public sector information (PSI) should be
● free
● easily discoverable
● based on open standards and therefore machine-readable [11]
● licensed to permit free reuse and transformation by others.
[11] The Semantic Web involves a vision of a machine-readable web, where intelligent agents would be capable of
understanding data presented online by interpreting the accompanying metadata.”
