"I'm from the government and I'm here to help you" takes on a sinister new meaning as jurisdictions around the world stumble over each other to 'set the people's data free'. New York City now has an Open Data Law and boasts in subway ads that 'our apps are whiz kid certified' (i.e. third party), which of course translates to 'we didn't pay for them, and don't blame us if somebody got it wrong and the bus don't come.' This session reports on my (and other people's) research aimed at prying out data that you're probably not supposed to have from Open Government Systems around the world. Recent findings from the Asia Pacific region are included.
