A community around using social tech for social impact
LGA Group on Open and Linked Data
Representatives from local government, the LGA, IDeA, CLG, and ESD and the Cabinet Office toolkit met yesterday to discuss open and linked data and how the sector can provide leadership on this issue.
One of the actions proposed was to create an open discussion space for this topic for (and this is it!) and another was to share documents and presentations that were given during the meeting.
So, I'll make a first go at that:
These are slides describing the Knowledge Hub (Steve Dale's)
and these are the slides that I presented from - Performance Management and Social Media in Local Government, which provides some context around data issues (although not just data issues).

Some of the infrastructure for this is being put in place. For example LAs can now be referenced using the ONS derived URI http://statistics.data.gov.uk/id/local-authority/[SNAC_ID], and this has now also been linked to from the OpenlyLocal.com linked-data (as has the OS linked data, and dbpedia data).

Well that is encouraging. This could be the start of a Local Government Data Cloud that is complete enough to link data to.
However, I did not see this coming, and myself and other Local Government stakeholders would have wanted to have had an opportunity to influence the design and understand more about the quality characteristics, commitment to longevity, timeliness of updates, version control, and so on. Are there onward RDF links to Admin-Boundaries and the other information that O.S. have pulled together on Local Authority names and so on.
So given this good start, how do we as a Local Government community engage with the programme so that we know what reference data is being put together for what purpose, and can contribute to its design and promotion.
