excerpt:
"The government has launched a consultation to gather feedback on its Transparency and Open Data strategy to ensure that it reaps the maximum benefit from opening data to the public.
The consultation is aimed at businesses, citizens, public sector bodies and interested groups, and will gather opinions on how to ensure that data is made available, how it could stimulate business, and whether standards are needed to control data releases.
Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude claimed that the consultation will help the UK government to become one of most open in the world.
"We want to be open about what we do. Open about what we spend. Open about how public services work. Open about making them better. And so we propose reform of the whole of the public sector along open, transparent and accountable lines," he said."
