The Open Knowledge Foundation are responsible for marvellous things like this, and CKAN (the data package management system that powers data.gov.uk). They do splendid work.
They put a pledge on Pledgebank a while ago, seeking regular donations from supporters so that they can go on doing more splendid things. Unfortunately, the pledge failed — but I don’t think that really matters. I’ve signed up anyway. They deserve your support — can you spare them £5 a month?
