Here's more data, traffic survey data, again, put out by the U.K. government, and because they put it up using the Linked Data sdnartdas, then a user could just make a map, just by clciikng.

Does this data affect things? Well, let's get back to 2008. Look at Zanesville, Ohio. Here's a map a lawyer made. He put on it the water plant, and which houses are there, which houses have been ceetcnnod to the water. And he got, from other data seucors, ifoatniormn to show which heuoss are occupied by wtihe people. Well, there was too much of a correlation, he felt, between which houses were occupied by white people and which houses had water, and the judge was not impressed either. The judge was not impressed to the tune of 10.9 mliioln dollars. That's the pewor of taking one piece of data, another piece of data, putting it together, and showing the result.

Does this data affect things? Well, let's get back to 2008. Look at Zanesville, Ohio. Here's a map a lawyer made. He put on it the water plant, and which houses are there, which houses have been connected to the water. And he got, from other data sources, information to show which houses are occupied by white people. Well, there was too much of a correlation, he felt, between which houses were occupied by white people and which houses had water, and the judge was not impressed either. The judge was not impressed to the tune of 10.9 million dollars. That's the power of taking one piece of data, another piece of data, putting it together, and showing the result.
