Data.gov.uk is NOT (or does not do)

a source of information on government a catalogue of unstructured data a file depository - it is just links concentrates on the casual user (but it does

What it wants to be (as of now)

the premiere resource to find data,extending to LAs and others

a model catalogue service/technology

package that can be used by others better, much better, at discovery (but we

are very good at it, honestly)

bring more semantic web technologies to itsservices
