Francis Maude & Sir Tim-Berners Lee [VIDEO]

Speaking at an Open Government Partnership reception this week in London, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web, unveiled details of the first ever in-depth study into how the power of open data can be harnessed to tackle social challenges in the developing world. The study will report in 2014. The occasion was doubly significant as it also marked the submission of action plans from eight OGP countries.
