I'm informally advising Beth Noveck, and one of the things I'm proposing is a
dynamic program of videos, wikis and other tools to both create a sense of
enthusiasm for open data within agencies (not only in terms of public release,
but also for sharing between agencies) as well as give them the requisite
skills. Has the UK created any such services? If so, wonder if you
could guide me to where I could find information... (BTW, despite
country-by-country differences, I'd like to see some sort of open-source
education library where similar materials could be shared worldwide). TY</span></p>
