[open-government] Know of any data publishing made easy tools for government?

[Jonathan Gray]

FYI while CKAN is primarily a data *registry* we also starting to
research and implement functionality related to storage and display of
datasets. In particular I expect we will be doing more of this as part
of the recently launched LOD2 project, so watch this space! ;-)

> - A government worker, selects part of a database which they then want to

> or a select group of users.
> If examples exist, curious to see if anything is open-source?
