A list of actual services based on open data?

[Matt Cooperrider]

Hello All,

I got the following request from someone interested in open data here in Australia:

Is there some good aggregation somewhere of actual new services that have been, or are being designed and delivered based on access to public data?  Beyond what's been done in various hackfest type activities (although that is useful).

I know where to hunt some examples, but wondered if you knew of any places where someone might already be tracking how open data/PSI movement is translating into actual new services that are now working.

I did some initial research, and was sad to discover that Appify had not taken off. OpenGovernmentData.org seems the best place to sift through for this, and ParticipateDB has potential on this front.

But the specific ask - services based on open data that are actually maintained - seems quite worthwhile and powerful for the transparency movement. Is anyone tracking this? Does anyone have an approach for locating examples?

CityGoRound is like Appify for transit apps (most, if not all, built with open transit data):

http://www.citygoround.org/

Also, some cities in the U.S. are maintaining "app showcases" - San Francisco and Philadelphia are a couple of examples. I'm sure there are many others .

Not sure if this is exactly what you were looking for.

Hope this helps.
