With all the sudden interest in the realtime and semantic web it seems that the bigger opportunity for an open and transparent government isn't in providing a back library of data but instead providing a realtime information stream. A data stream that could provide real, tactical insight into the areas of government that are actually useful for businesses looking for an edge in this tough economic climate.
In a recent quote on GCN.com
But instead of weather, why not look at other aggregate information sources, why not population trends, food, medical/health as well as other actually useful realtimes statics? Why are we limited to just realtime weather, a science arguably just as complex as any. In a lot of ways looking a driving habits, mortgage defaults, employments trends or even crop trends are probably all easier to calculate.
Just a random thought.
