Hi, Please Jonathan, Steven and others, let us know if you find some visualization, categorization or prioritization that would clarify the "swamp" of public sector information sources. I'm looking for two things: 1. A easy way to get the BIG PICTURE of what kind of public sector information most propably exists (even if it is not open yet) in a typical country or city. 2. Some priorities from the information re-users point of view So far I have found only listings and catalogues that can be re-ordered according to some topics (for example CKAN and data.gov), but these are not really helping to give the big picture. From this kind of catalogues it is easy to find some specific data source if you know what you are looking for, but if you just want to see what is out there and build the overview the catalogues are not so helpful.
