Stuff about Open Data and Linked Data

Open Data vs The Information Commissioner

I’ve just got round to reading yesterday’s blog post, on the Guardian’s Kable channel, regarding the pursuit of data breaches. Whilst absolutely necessary that breaches of private, personal and / or sensitive data should be admonished, I can’t help thinking that the statement will make public bodies and organisations (particularly the NHS, with the most breaches, according to the article) less inclined to further the Open Data cause.

I hope that the Commissioner will work with these organisations and not against them  in making sure that we have good, relevant, non-sensitive and, above all, open data.
