Open Data Institute to open this week, highlighting big data innovation in the UK

From TheNextWeb.com:

The Open Data Institute (ODI) officially opens this week and it is “a collaboration between businesses, entrepreneurs, researchers, government and society to unlock enterprise and social value from the vast amount of open government data now being made available”.

That’s quite a mouthful – put plainly, there’s a truck load of open data around, so let’s have at it and see what we can do.
