[okfn-discuss] Opportunity for open format access to some env data

Fri Apr 3 09:39:32 UTC 2009

Hi all,

The UK Govt has released the new sustainable development indicators.
There's a lot of very useful and important data here, and the best they can
do is a set of clunky web pages and some Excel spreadsheets.

This would be great if offered in a more machine-readable way, with
historical data included. How much work would it be to make it available
properly, and what do people think about asking for that?

Regards,
Tom
