I spoke with John Sheridan of the Government’s Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) back in July of 2009, when this programme was just taking shape. More recently, Talis‘ Richard Wallis recorded a podcast with Richard as data.gov.uk formally launched earlier this year, and his colleague Zach Beauvais followed up with a videocast to explore some uses for the data.
