Gordon Brown anunció hoy sus planes para abrir el gobierno - que muestra cómo los datos ya está transformando el panorama político HTE. Véase lo que dijo
¿Los datos ganar las elecciones? Estoy empezando a preguntarme si podría ser el caso.
Hoy en día, Gordon Brown lanzó sus propuestas para proporcionar banda ancha súper vital para evitar la "brecha digital". Si bien la mayoría de la prensa se centran en los planes de introducir un 6 £ a un impuesto fijo al año, un enfoque poco conocida era cuánto del discurso se centró en los planes de datos del gobierno.
Es sólo día desde los conservadores lanzó manifiesto digitales del partido, con la promesa de transformar la información del gobierno para todos nosotros. Se incluye un compromiso crucial para abrir ultra del Tesoro de base de datos de monedas locales de gasto, que muestra el gasto público a nivel micro-que los activistas de datos (como Wheredoesmymoneygo?) Después de haber sido durante años.
En su discurso de hoy, Brown hizo varias promesas sobre los datos:
30 millones de libras para apoyar la creación de un instituto de la ciencia web dirigida por Sir Tim Berners Lee y el profesor Nigel Shadbolt, el equipo detrás de data.gov.uk
Gran apertura de transporte de datos y un compromiso para que sea una condición de autobús futuro y franquicias de ferrocarril que estos datos serán a libre disposición
El Gobierno publicará un inventario en línea de todos los conjuntos de datos no personales en poder de los departamentos y organismos de armas longitud - un "libro Domesday" para el siglo 21
Para publicar en línea un inventario de todos los no-conjuntos de datos personales en poder de los departamentos y organismos de armas longitud - un "libro Domesday" para el siglo 21
Lanzamiento de una versión actualizada de Directgov llamado Mygov
Lo he dicho antes: no tiene precedentes tan cerca de una elección para los líderes de los dos mayores partidos políticos para pasar el tiempo haciendo campaña crucial en los datos. En el futuro, podemos tomar estas cosas por sentado, por ahora, es lo suficientemente grande como para emocionarse.
Está muy bien la liberación de estas cosas, pero ¿qué va a hacer por nosotros? Los políticos son efectivamente poner la pelota en nuestra cancha ahora. He aquí los datos, dicen - seguir adelante con ella. Y, sin las herramientas y la voluntad de analizar y visualizar los datos, entonces todo esto significa muy poco. Eso depende de nosotros como periodistas, desarrolladores, artistas gráficos y los miembros interesados del público.
Y la voluntad del gobierno abren monedas al público? Curiosamente, las sugerencias están saliendo de la Tesorería que eso es exactamente lo que hará - un anuncio sobre el tema que viene en el próximo par de semanas.
Cuando sucede, la información que obtenemos de las monedas podría revolucionar la manera en que vemos el gobierno, los datos y las elecciones.
Así pues, si usted tiene alguna duda acerca de la importancia de los datos a las próximas elecciones, ahora podría ser el momento de perder.

Music scene is thriving city, with a collection of concert venues grungy, local cafes, and joints retro jukebox
Last month, Google close six music blogs without notice. One of them was I Rock Cleveland (which has since restarted as blog.irockcleveland.com) caused a frown of confusion. Cleveland, a hotbed of rock music? The city in the Great Lakes, which was recently described by Forbes magazine as the most miserable metropolis in the U.S., a nurturer of musical genius? It is just that and more - and to show that here are 10 of the most vibrant music scenes which never have the joy of sweating in.
1. Beachland Ballroom
When Cindy Barber opened the Beachland in 2000 was because "he wanted to turn this neighborhood into something dramatic." Since then, the former music room of Croatia has hosted everyone from the White Stripes to Black Keys. Cindy she has worked in the music industry for almost 40 years, ie, the jukebox is impeccable and a stingy spirit of authenticity pervades everything from vintage clothing store down to the flashing neon light filtered Through the windows of the tavern. Word of warning: the doors of the toilets of ladies not lock - so do not spend much time reading the graffiti or they may get caught out.
15,711 Waterloo Road, 1216 383 1124, beachlandballroom.com.
2. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
"If you take into account the size of the city, there is a huge amount of people playing music in Cleveland," says Jeff Niesel, music editor of the Cleveland scene. But Cleveland has been at the forefront of rock music from DJ Alan Freed took over the airwaves of the city in 1951. He is credited with popularizing the term "rock and roll," Freed also received one of the first rock concerts in 1952. The 150,000 square foot Museum has enough memories, films and exhibits spread over seven floors to keep you busy all weekend. It's basically a rock and roll theme park could hardly be described as earth, but is a good place to renew your who's who before wowing the crowd at Beachland with his intimate knowledge of the radio industry in 1954.
1100 Rock and Roll Boulevard, 1 216 781 7625, rockhall.org.
3. Prosperity Social Club
Settling initially in the original bar, 1938, prosperity has retained all the art-deco of turns required to be charming, but added that musicians talented enough to keep it cutting edge. The feeling is quite soft, with bluegrass, jazz, folk and country sounds of the election. The gin and tonics are making a strong hilariously entertaining games some retro bowling machine in the back room before entering the bands.
1109 Starkweather Avenue, Tremont, 1 216 937 1938, prosperitysocialclub.com.
4. Cafe Mitzi Jerman
Fresh out of the ban and in the 21st century without even a blink. Mitzi has often been viewed as the number of a dive bar in North America - but if you knock the door hard enough to gain entry, never know. Curtains and battered windows look out on the abandoned factories in the Cleveland area rather bleak, but once inside is like putting a couch in the front room of Mitzi. That to be fair, it almost is. Mitzi Jerman family opened the bar in 1908 and ran until his death aged 92 in 2006. The drinks are pretty cheap and the pool table in the back is only 25c. Plus you get a story every time you head to the bar. Now that is of value.
3840 St. Clair Avenue, 1 216 361 8771.
5. House of Blues
At House of Blues music giant dwelt neon between the frivolity of East Fourth Street - the ready-made entertainment center of the city - at once the most popular rubbed up the wrong way. However, the big bands are still coming as Scissor Sisters and The Used. Is big, brash, is a copy of each bedside of others in the U.S.. But if it's a great mosh pit that is looking really can not go wrong.
308 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH 44114, 1 216 523 2583, houseofblues.com.
6. Music Store
Once you have been inspired by the talent on stage at the Beachland, hot foot down the road at Music Saves. This is an emporium of music on a record amount of coaxing, but an atmosphere of joy and light. If the staff knows more about music than you, but this is not an embarrassment, rather an opportunity to loot them and their shop for lighting. Besides Sam Beam of Iron and Wine has been here. Nuff said.
15,801 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, 44,110, 1 216 481 1875, musicsaves.com.
7. Grog Shop
Upon entering Grog Shop is normal that you suddenly feel very naked from his lack of tattoos. Never fear - everyone in this indie nightclub are too busy jumping around to notice. There is a huge place, providing a degree of privacy as you sweat, but is reaching legendary status as the place to catch up and coming rock and indie bands. The only drawback is the bar is open very late - and then come the bands in even later - so you may have trouble remembering the music come the next day.
2785 Euclid Heights Blvd 1 216 321 5588, grogshop.gs.
8. The Greenhouse Tavern
This restaurant became the first certified LEED (green building credentials confirming his) restaurant in Ohio and has a spectacular meal that includes farm to plate motion. , And the defense of good food, chef and owner Jonathan Sawyer also likes his music. And he plays in a band. The restaurant has a small stage area where Jonathan has been known to get down. The greenhouse effect are not strictly rock and roll - although I bet chips dipped in egg yolk almost qualify - but if you need some sustenance and can not face another chili dog, there is no better place.
2038 East Fourth Street, 1 216 443 0511, thegreenhousetavern.com.
9. Steve's Lunch
Speaking of chili dogs have a place in Cleveland, which makes them by the bucket load next to a table jukebox extremely excellent. Lunch greasy Steve is 24 hour room a rather bleak picture of the city where chili cheese dogs are worth the muscle tension necessary to deal with the surroundings. The walls are covered with what looks like 50 years of hot dog debris. Do not look at them. Or rather just come 2 am, slam on some Elvis in his music box and then you do not mind because the food more than compensates.
5004 Lorain Avenue, 44,102, 1 216 961 1460.
10. Pats in the Neighborhood
If a place can be successful based on love alone, Pats in the neighborhood of Cleveland would be the answer to the Brixton Academy. If none of this little place is a fantastic excuse to venture into the floors of industrial steel Cleveland architectural brutality which constantly draws the eye to the darker side of life. Drinkers of professionals rub shoulders with local bands and upcoming young music connoisseurs in an environment that is so rustic that makes House of Blues seems to Disneyland.
