Description
IWR's November 2009 feature on "Bashing the bootleggers" sparked a broader debate among public interest groups and bloggers on whether public sector data should be given away free--on the basis that taxpayers are 'entitled' to use it. This debate was further stimulated by the government's announcement in December of a consultation into greater access to Ordnance Survey data. This itelf is part of a wider government campaign under its 'Frontline First' initiative to promote transparency across a whole range of data including NHS Choices, public transport and Met Office public weather service data--all of which can be viewed at www.data.gov.uk.
