Standards groups like the W3C are working towards this end (see http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Main_Page) but sure would help to have public request all government data in human AND machine readable formats to improve access & re-use.

Entrepreneurs will make profits on these information resources eventually, as they have capitalized on all the resources we’ve ever developed/discovered. But will journalists and civic NGOs be able to mine the data as effectively in the public interest as well?
