The year open data went worldwide: Tim Berners-Lee on TED.com
At TED2009, Tim Berners-Lee called for “raw data now” — for governments, scientists and institutions to make their data openly available on the web. At TED U in 2010, he shows a few of the interesting results when the data gets linked up. (Recorded at TED University 2010, February 2010 in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 20:07)

It’s amazing that Tim Berners-Lee was able to pack all of that into 5 minutes (and 34 seconds)… I’m particularly interested in the bicycle crash data Tim mentioned. Starting March 26th, I’ll be serving on the Citizens Advisory Committee for the St. Louis Regional Bicycle Master Plan. Finding new ways to conceptualize/visualize, share and discuss relevant data can only speed up the process of positive change. Raw data now!
