Open Data Goes Global: Open Government Data Camp 2010
On 18 November 2010, representatives from the UK government, the White House, the UN, the European Commission and over thirty countries are gathered in London to further open government information around the world. The Open Government Data Camp 2010 is a two day workshop run by the Open Knowledge Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that has pioneered open data internationally and helped to build data.gov.uk.
According to a press release by the Open Knowledge Foundation, Open Government Data "goes beyond traditional government websites and ensures that government data can be used by anyone to build new services, applications and much more."
