[open-government] Public Data Catalog Priorities and Demand

[Antti "Jogi" Poikola]

Happy new year,

Has anyone collected information about:

A) the applications / ideas / usage / demand of public sector data (i.e.
categorized list of all kinds of applications and application ideas)

B) the content of the data catalogues, what kind of data is currently
provided by the governments (local, regional, national)

I'm trying to build the big picture that would unite the general themes of
the public sector data and the general classes (current) of applications and
application-ideas.

The question above is continuation to the discussion started by Steven Clift
over a year ago. Starting post is below and the relevant archive links are:

One year is long time in the current open data movement, so I hope that I
get more insight knowledge and links now.
