Today's release of an Open Data Charter by the G8 is testimony to the 
growing importance of open data worldwide. The Charter recognizes the 
central role open data can play in improving government and governance 
and in stimulating growth through innovation in data-driven products and 
services. It endorses the principle of "open by default" --- also 
supported in President Obama's recent Executive Order on open data --- 
and makes clear that open data must be open to all and usable by both 
machines and humans (as per the Open Definition). - See more at:
