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

[james burke]

Hi All,

While there is a lot of discussion around software like CKAN which is
described as a data catalog,
whose function is to point to data sets and add meta data and other features
that enrich findability
and comprehension, i am wandering if there *are examples of data publishing
solutions, *
*that make it easy for government workers to easily input and then publish
data*
so that it can reach a variety of users in open data standard formats like
xml, csv, etc

Examples:

- A civil servant uploads an excel sheet which is then converted  to xml,
csv or other open data standard
- A government worker, selects part of a database which they then want to
make available in an easy to reuse format over the web to either everyone,
or a select group of users.

If examples exist, curious to see if anything is open-source?

Regards

James
