New Website to Make Government Reports and Surveys Accessible to Public

Filed under: Caveat Emptor, Life Information, Telecommunication Portal — admin @ 1:06 pm

With a view to making government data and statistics easily accessible the local public, the UK government is going to launch a new website titled data.gov.uk. This website will give detailed reports of different projects undertaken or funded by the government in different times. Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, is playing a leading role in the development of this website,

The website’s launch will mark the culmination of a project that began in June 2009 to look into ways by which public sector statistics and data can be made accessible for the common masses. In fact, a pilot version of the website was introduced last September, and it proved to be a huge success.

Different kinds of data related to government surveys will be available from this website. For example, people will be provided information on the general flow of traffic in different cities across Britain or on the incidence of crime in metropolitan cities in the last decade.

Not only that, the website will also present accurate statistical data on educational institutions and even allow members of the public to address their complaints and grievances regarding bad roads and loss of greenery in their neighbourhoods.

In a recent interview to BBC News, Sir Tim said that every year, the government spends astronomical amounts on research to collect different kinds of data pertaining to education, health, etc. and after the data is collected and used by the government agencies, they become redundant and are forgotten by government officials. The new website will be an attempt to revive and salvage such data from oblivion.

If you need more information on broadband, or the various ISPs, look at mobile.broadbandgenie.co.uk. It is worth a look at the website for and their comparative table of mobile internet providers, which includes an analysis of their products and services and all the information you need to get up and running on broadband internet.
