So just what kinda data do you want?

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

I am reading a series of honking data intensive reports on health, socio-economic determinants of health, loaded with indicators, indexes, combining socio data, self reported health data, and hospitilization rates and so on all in maps etc..  I love this stuff.  As I was reading I was wondering if other civiaccessers were also interested in that kind of data?  Then I got to wondering what kind of data civicaccers might actually want? So here goes:

If all the data vaults were unlocked and you were allowed to dig through the treasure chest of discovery metadata and click the download button to whatever datasets you wanted for free with unlimited use and no restrictions, what would you actually select?

and just for the heck of it

What would you do with them?

Cheers
tracey

What I'd like right now:

Census data
Transit schedules and stops
Street features (speed limits, one-ways, stop signs, # of lanes, bike
lanes, speed bumps, etc)
Accident data: times, locations and modes of transport involved
Sewage and storm water drains capacity
Fine-grained digital elevation models

There are various ways to recombine all this data :)

change.gov goes creative commons.

public domain would be better.
