[@OKau] "High value" datasets

[Paul Walsh]

While working on OK’s Open Data Census, I recently came across this:

http://www.phila.gov/slash-data/census/ <http://www.phila.gov/slash-data/census/>

I love how they built Demand/Impact and Cost/Complexity right into their methodology for opening data. Doesn’t directly address your question, but perhaps of value nonetheless.

I found some in this EU report <http://ec.europa.eu/isa/documents/publications/report-on-high-value-datasets-from-eu-institutions_en.pdf> but would like to gather some more.
