Tim Berners-Lee: "Government data is being put online to increase accountability, contribute valuable information about the world, and to enable government, the country, and the world to function more efficiently. All of these purposes are served by putting the information on the Web as Linked Data. Start with the "low-hanging fruit". Whatever else, the raw data should be made available as soon as possible."

Hey, great link, I hadn't seen this before. I run a service that helps governments get their data online in just one day, and with only spreadsheet knowledge. It's quick and easy.
The coolest thing is that the data can then be accessed through an open API where you can get KML, RSS, JSON, XML, HTML, or CSV versions of the data for your own site and applications.
Take a look at http://www.GovMapper.com for details and http://www.YourMapper.com to see the public facing side once the data is live. Thanks again
