Compliments to ENEL that published today its data under CCby.
The first case of a private italian company adopting the open data model.

http://data.enel.com/en

I think it's a good news for at least two reasons:
1) It make corporate data more transparent, in particular financial data. It
can lead to new forms of collecting "economic" data (open and crowd-sourced)
that can hopefully make more accurate accounts of global markets (we need
it, don't we?) - Imagine to empower projects like opencorporates with open
data sources directly from corporations.
2) It can start a inspire others corporations to provide open data
information about assets, process, and everything they do that is relevant
to the public. Some examples could be: information about natural resources
provided by the oil industry, the power and communication grids, ships
logistics, ecc.

I am looking forward to see more private open data!

I am also happy that the news comes from an italian company, It's the kind
of good example we need so much.

Ciao, lorenzo

Lorenzo
Saw this & thought it was really interested. Do you have a contact there?
Had some feedback that might be useful (mainly on format, and other info
that might be useful to provide -- e.g. names of directors, corporate
structure).

hi Chris, I am in touch with the person in charge of the open data project
at ENEL.
I will ask your questions and try to get some feedbacks. It seems they are
committed to go further but I think they need ideas and advices to take the
right directions (see the problem with the CCby "terms of use").
I am sure they will appreciate proposals, ideas, etc.
