Certainly in the U.K., the national government is taking a significant interest in this. My centre looks at things more from the position of the physical infrastructure rather than the sorts of personal private data the previous speaker was talking about, but even so, there are security implications in this. Some of the data we want could potentially come from people's mobile phones, such as travel data and that sort of thing. There's definitely a role for the federal government, and there's definitely role for the standards organizations as well.
In the U.K., we are currently developing some standards around cybersecurity for smart cities. One of the reason for this is that you really have to assume that someone will hack you at some point, and if you're using digital infrastructure to manage your critical physical infrastructure, that includes your water supply, your power supply, your transport systems, etc. A malicious hack into that could potentially derail very important and critical national infrastructure. You need to have systems that are appropriately secure from each other such that they can't interfere with each other but at the same time will allow the healthy and useful sharing of data. I think there's definitely a role for the federal government in making sure that is happening.
