Subject: [kictanet] Open Data Vital, says web inventor

The inventor of the World Wide Web has said governments and companies "must not shy away" from giving the public free access to sensitive information.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who launched the web on Christmas Day 1990, argued that open data was essential in " fighting poverty, accelerating industry and innovation, and reducing corruption".
