“In the United States, the White House has led the
march towards open source and free software by switching the
http://www.whitehouse.gov/ website to the Drupal content management
system. The government of the United Kingdom has decided to follow
their lead. http://data.gov.uk/ acts as a central information
repository for many of the UK’s government agencies. The government
recently converted the site to a very clean and very polished
Drupal website. The main effort of the site is to provide the
British constituency with transparent access to data on the actions
and statistics of various government bodies. For example, I visited
the site and navigated to the Department of Energy section. There
was a plentiful store of data on energy consumption, energy prices,
C02 emissions, and energy trends. Overall, the site is very well
done and it could be a model for information dissemination in
smaller communities and other national governments.”
