[open-development] Google + World Bank Data?

[Jonathan Gray]

Several people pointed this out to me today:

  http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_makes_world_bank_data_more_discoverable.php

Do people know if this is using data that the WB have made open (as in
opendefinition.org), or if there have been separate negotiations with
Google?
