Wolfram Alpha and Australia Government Open Up

Wolfram Alpha recently launched their WebService API. Currently they are charging for the use of APIs.

Wolfram Alpha team deserves credit providing APIs to their curated content in such a short period after the launch of

Similar to the efforts in the US and UK, Australia government starts making government datasets publicly available.
