There are several announcements about making data more available and letting people have access to it. Give them some tools and let them discover what the content may really contain. Discover the hidden facts within all those public data collections. Here is a link to recent google announcement last week http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Messaging-and-Collaboration/Google-Public-Data-Expl orer-Breaks-It-Down-for-Students-Wonks-Stat-Lovers-251500/?kc=EWKNLDAT031120 10STR1 The key part of this is the availability of public data. There is an effort to get more public data available for review and analysis. The tool will allow a lot of mix and match of datasets for comparisons. I haven't been following much of this sort of thing, but I did happen upon the following link in some other stuff I was reading. http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen. html This presentation (done in Feb 2006) is worth the time to view it, I think. The presenter/project leader is good. He mentions at the end that a group called GapMinder.org is (at that time) taking on further development. I see in the Google related information that they acquired materials from GapMinder.
