Abstract

The intent of the open data movement is to provide freely available online data for analysis and innovation by scholars and the public. It recently has made some notable achievements, such as last year's decision by the World Bank to provide all its data for free. Last fall, the City of London (Ontario) launched an open data beta web site, following in the tracks of other Canadian municipalities.
