The Guardian datastore and datablog – Simon Rogers (The Guardian)

We are drowning in data - but how many of us know where to get what we want? The Guardian datastore and datablog are new projects designed to free up the key numbers that news organisations use every day, and publish them for developers and the wider public in a form they can use. If you are looking for key bits of data, the Datastore is going to become the place to get it.

Simon Rogers (The Guardian)

He was worked at the Guardian since 1999 and was launch editor of Guardian Unlimited's news service, a news editor for the newspaper and the editor of the Life science section. He works with the infographics team on the paper to produce news graphics and info spreads in the paper and on guardian.co.uk
