Description
After years of steady but piece-meal change, public sector information in Britain at last seems to be experiencing its 'Berlin Wall' moment. Politicians from both left and right are enthusiastically wielding the sledgehammer, attacking barriers that seemed unassailable only a year ago. Painstakingly, officials have done what they can to help things along. The Office of Public Sector Information is working on a replacement for its click-use licence, favouring a Creative Commons type solution for the reuse of Crown Copyright and other public sector data. And Information Commissioner Christopher Graham has reminded the public sector that it should release more information proactively instead of waiting to be asked.
