Also wd be very interested in sharing info on challenges around publishing data on maps, benchmarking etc – licensing issues, data quality etc. Again, from a non-tech perspective.

Mark Braggins · 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Yes to both of these – open data, publishing on maps, licensing issues, obstacles and how to overcome them

Anyone else interested in sharing info on progress with open data publishing in the last year? I’m talking very much the policy end here, definitely no tech talk! Have local authorities put this on the back burner because of austerity and other more pressing issues? Will the NHS be meeting Cabinet Office requirements to publish eg GP prescribing records? Is action starting to match the words?

Dane Wright · 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Yes. Particularly interested in the state of local authority spend & contracts data and how to improve the quality.
Graham · 2 weeks, 3 days ago
I’d be interested to hear more on this.
Stephen Cross · 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Interested. Seems there’s an acceptance that this stuff has to be published, but not in context or in a way that’s easy to use.
