Subject: [@OKFNau] Examples of Use of Commercial Government Data

Hey guys,
Long time reader, first time writer. I recently had a chat with a government official and we were talking government data and all the benefits. The official said that they seem to be hearing a lot about all the benefits but don't have access to practical examples of how releasing government data has benefited different departments. Examples that they could use to as references to help persuade different people to get involved. I mentioned transportation data examples but they have a lot of those examples. 
I was wondering if people on this list could help me out with examples, case studies and positive references to where releasing government data has helped the greater community either by reducing spend, resulted in commercial outcomes or help deliver better services.
I've create a spreadsheet that you can add these too or just reply to this mail.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
