The most important issue that came to light was that data sets are not readily available in on-line API formats and are currently hindered by the masses of spreadsheets that need to be downloaded and hosted in order to be worked into a usable and highly available format. If this data gathering process is maintained fragmentation will occur, inevitably leading to outdated or misrepresented data sets being used as the basis of public information. Therefore the data.gov.uk website needs to host ‘live’ API’s with which developers can interact with.
