Not sure if this really applies, for several reasons, but on http://prodstat.referata.com I'm trying to 'open' data. I'm trying to wikify a 'world food database'. Basically I've written a set of Perl scripts [1] to take query results from the Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) ProdStat database [2], and load it into SMW. The next phase is to produce some interesting visualizations from the data, but I haven't got there yet. If anyone is interested in working on this, I'd be happy to load more data into the wiki and try to document the data model more clearly. Cheers, Dan.
