</font><br></span><br>Compliments to ENEL that published today its data under CCby.<br>
The first case of a private italian company adopting the open data model.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://data.enel.com/en" target="_blank">http://data.enel.com/en</a><br>
<br>
I think it's a good news for at least two reasons:<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I am looking forward to see more private open data!<br>
<br>
I am also happy that the news comes from an italian company, It's the kind of good example we need so much.<br>
<br>
Ciao, lorenzo<br>

</font><br></span><br>hi Chris, I am in touch with the person in charge of the open data project at ENEL.<br>
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").<br>
I am sure they will appreciate proposals, ideas, etc.<br>
<br>
