I'm new to this open text or open data information thing. I'm led to believe that other countries are far ahead of us in this regard. I think that relative to what we should and shouldn't study it would help us give some direction to look at what other countries have done, particularly countries like Great Britain, how they've utilized open data and how they've done it for—as my colleague has pointed out the objectives here—better use of business and government.
I think this would help direct our scope in what we study, but I'm very much in favour of taking a shot at this and keeping it initially wide open.
