What we do
data.gov.uk is a key part of the Government's Transparency programme for the UK public sector as a whole. Working with Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Professor Nigel Shadbolt and Tom Steinberg and other members of the Cabinet Office Minister's new Public Sector Transparency Board this site seeks to give a way into the wealth of government data becoming available. It's under constant development and we want to work with you to make it better.
