Care Support Independence

http://careandsupport.direct.gov.uk/

In July 2009, the Government published Shaping the Future of Care Together, spelling out its vision for a National Care Service, and the options for how it could be organised and paid for. Publication marked the start of the Big Care Debate consultation - the first ever national debate on the reform of adult care and support in England. The Government invited everybody to comment on the reform options. The Big Care Debate consultation ended on 13th November 2009.

Linked Data visualisation: Mapping the UK's Research & Intellectual Property

http://bis.clients.talis.com/

The Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) has worked with Talis and the Research Councils UK, the Funding Councils, Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and Technology Strategy Board (TSB) to gather data on networks and patents. This information has been linked during the project to demonstrate how the data could be used in the future so that when a business - eg a potential inward investor - asks for hard facts on the clusters of excellence in a specific technology area, the leading universities and firms in that space are identifiable at the click of a button. This type of mapping is being piloted for stem cell research, RFID, advanced composite materials and plastic electronics - all areas of UK excellence. This is the first output of a major project to map the information available about the UK's Intellectual Property. More background at: http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2010/02/linked-data-visualisation-launched-at-prime-ministers-conference.php
