OPEN DATA
Just like open access, now the term 'open data' is gaining momentum. It is about-- certain data that should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. It is a data bank which is accessible to all and purpose being to strengthen the statistics of a country that is to enhance and utilize data for scientific research.
U.S site on open data:http://www.data.gov/opendatasites
UK site on open data: http://data.gov.uk/
Indian site ....;http://www.data.gov.in/
Another useful site that I came across is Open Government Platform - OGPL is to promote transparency and citizen engagement-a joint initiative taken up by India and United States to promote transparency and greater citizen engagement by making more government data, documents, tools and processes publicly available.
