[open-government] Examples of Open Data against conflicts of interests?

Wed Dec 7 10:15:32 UTC 2011

Hi there Marco,

There are several proyects in the Sunlight Foundation around lobbying
activities. Also in Latin America www.inspectordeintereses.cl is an
example of using public information with those purposes. Note that I
am unsure if it is all open data, (in the very technical sense) but
for sure is public information
Cheers
Fabrizio
