" summary

Argues that governments should publish taxpayer-funded records online, citing the UK launch of data.gov.uk after a 2009 push and a community of 2,500 developers ready at launch; defines a practical five-star system for data quality (1 publish, 2 machine readable, 3 non‑proprietary CSV, 4 RDF/linked data, 5 actually linked to others); recommends RDF and SPARQL plus schemas like OWL and serializations (Turtle, RDF/XML) so apps, mashups and cross‑country analyses (for example US/UK aid merging) can be automated, queried and recombined.
