The Open Data movement is picking up steam in a big way. Some government or NGO seems to announce plans for full transparency every week. Then you've got a guy like Rob McEwen creating billions of dollars of wealth when he decided to open source his gold mining company's geological data. Still, data today is like the web was in 1995... all over the place. We need a data commons: a place for people to discover, consume, contribute, discuss and purchase data. This talk discusses how such an infrastructure could work, and how we must bring tools for working with data to non-technical individuals.
