Verity Pravda

So we suddenly lurch from defining the digital economy to the issue of public sector information. An interesting lurch and not necessarily the first DE issue that might spring to mind (unlike, say, the efect of the digital economy on economic and social structures).

The answer on what PSI would be useful is difficult to answer as most of us have no idea what public sector information is available. As already noted from the comments about filtering it might not just be information in the sense of data but information in the sense of opening up the policy process.

In my field of interests the PSI I have most interest in is words not numbers. It is frustrating when my Government commissions reports or studies that it doesn't publish. Minister Conroy got into strife for joking about one such report from KPMG earlier in the year.
