[open-government] Economic benefits of open data

Agreed - I'd like to see the source as well.

I know the Washington DC example is somewhat dubious. The quote comes 
from the CIO who simple added up the estimated hours spent by developers 
on the applications that were submitted to the contest. I think this 
conflates output value with input value... probably a number of other 
methodological challenges around this.

cheers,
dave
