I would like to bring to your notice that a lot of current data is available in PDF format example - http://posoco.in/DailyReports.aspx Such data is useless / very difficult to use for analysis. All data should be available via APIs and as CSVs that can be inputted to a computer using automated tasks and crunched with minimal efforts. Human time is too valuable to redo work that someone else has already done.

Sir/Madam,

Please find attached a submission from MediaNama.com on the Open Data License, based on the philosophy of open-ness, that information must be made available in a manner that is transparent, free, non-discriminatory, neutral, unconditional, and without prejudice.
