Those with an interest in Quantitative Research involving examining collected data with comparison to broader social, environmental, economic or political environment in the UK.2) The UK government information publishers who have limited understanding of the potential research value of specific Public Sector Information (PSI) resources. As Nick stated we have been working with a number and the Prime Minister’s recent announcement that Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and Nigel Shadbolt are to help drive a step change in UK Government activities to make non-personal public data widely available for re-use will make many new sources of data become available during the coming months.3) The Mashup community, the new information intermediaries, an untapped community of technicians who could help close the gap between information publishers and researchers by providing mashups to perform analysis on ‘aggregated’ UK government information.
