Imagine if government data were open and interactive. Well, the United States government has a great deal of information that you can download in an spreadsheet format. While that is a beginning, would it not be better if you had a website that took all the data the government collects and you could map it out yourself, however you like. In Victoria, Australia, they have such a website called VisualPlace.
VisualPlace is a six month Proof of Concept testing innovative ways of capturing, exploring and visualising government information and services through maps.
The website is actively soliciting the public’s participation, and suggestions for improvement.
