If you know anything about data and consider it (or them) important (and a UK person), then YOU really need to respond to the two UK government consultations that close at midnight tonight. These are important, and as far as I can see, input is sorely lacking!
Making Open Data Real is at http://data.gov.uk/opendataconsultation. The Data Policy for a Public Data Corporation is at http://discuss.bis.gov.uk/pdc/. My own responses are on http://unsustainableideas.wordpress.com/, in case you're interested. If you agree, tell them. If you disagree, tell them the real answer! I'm weak on the economic benefits of free (I can talk about the advantages of free in terms of services to citizens, but not the businesses that free will create). Need more input!
