In central, regional and local government there is an increasing desire to share data more widely to improve transparency and accountability and to reduce duplication. As an early adopter Lichfield District Council has been actively sharing a range of local data for some time. In March 2010 the Council was the first authority to make its local election results openly available as part of the Open Election Data Project. By making small changes in how their local election results are displayed local authorities can jointly work towards creating a free national database of local election results and undertake a low risk, low cost pilot in implementing the open data agenda.

This sound like a wonderful idea. Its about time somebody paid real attention to data sharing and making dulication less common. No doubt there will be some savings to achieve if this succeeds.
