Berners-Lee to develop government data access point
,----[ Quote ]
| The government has asked web inventor Tim
| Berners-Lee to create a single point of
| access to public data as its data site
| begins to take shape.
|
| It is hoping this access will lead to new
| technologies and services being developed.
|
| Prime minister Gordon Brown asked Berners-
| Lee to look at access to government data in
| June, after Barack Obama's administration
| launched an open source data site.

| We don't know a lot about how it was done.
| We do know, thanks to NetCraft, that the
| White House is running a typical LAMP
| (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stack to
| support Drupal. The actual credit for
| designing the new Linux-based infrastructure
| goes to GDIT (General Dynamics Information
| Technology), a well-known government IT
| contractor.

Phorm CEO clashes with Berners-Lee at Parliament
,----[ Quote ]
| Berners-Lee gave a passionate explanation of why he does not believe ISPs
| should on principle be allowed to intercept and profile their customers'
| internet usage. "It is very important that when click we click without a
| thought that a third party knows what we're clicking on," he said. "I have
| come here to defend the internet as a medium."
