This presentation reviews progress to date in the Making Public Data Project (MPDP) that the UK Government began in 2009. The principles behind the work are presented - both technical and organisational. The move to open data precepts by a number of governments are discussed. The UK Government Information Advisors also advocate the adoption of linked data standards - the benefits of such an approach are discussed. The challenges facing such work are outlined and future ambitions discussed.
