I recently stumbled across Statistic Canada's Data Liberation Initiative. It's exciting to see this effort and terminology, which is shared with Google's humorously themed effort.
The Data Liberation Facebook group provides some good reasons this is important — Do you want fair pricing, transparent testing, faster performance, deeper analytics and straight answers? Simply, in my mind, public data and even rights to code you access (like AGPL) should be a competitive factor, and in the public service or for any massive scale, something we expect.
