Data isn't worth much until it's free -- freed from the silo it's locked up in, and used in a mashup (define) that creates valuable new resources for you and others. Freeing data is also behind a fast-growing movement around Linked Open Data - or what many call Web 3.0 for short, said the founder of the World Wide Web.
