[OKCon-Programme] Speaker from Google?

Thu Mar 24 19:18:38 GMT 2011

I have a bit of a prob with some of Google's stuff and its position on open
data generally (i don't think it cares about it except insofar it helps its
business goals/model.

That said I think Google Refine is excellent and being a tool rather than a
data store doesn't have the problems mentioned above.

Just my 2c worth.
