| New plans to open up library, archive and
| museum collections will make it easier for
| researchers and students to access resources,
| according to a taskforce announcing its vision

| At the moment it can be difficult for
| researchers to access books and information
| held in different places because the data is
| incompatible with the web services they use to

,----[ Quote ]
| Today I have participated to an international
| meeting in Madrid on the reuse of Public
| Sector Information. I came to gather as much
| information and food for thought as possible
| for my new research on Open Data for an Open
| Society and wasn't deluded.
|
| Public Sector Information, or PSI for short,
| is very easy to define in a few words (even if
| managing it in the right way may be one of the
| most difficult things in the world): this
| terms defines all the information and
| documents that any Public Administration (PA)
| produces and uses during its ordinary tasks:
| everything from digital maps and weather
| forecast to city budgets, tenders and
| management of public utilities like water or
| energy.
