On the first Downloa
I had no problem finding the data set lists.
On the first Download link tried at random the following was returned :
The file '/fti/DataDownload.aspx' does not exist.....
Early days - but having gone to such trouble one would really expect them to have done some user testing.

I managed to get to the List All Datasets with no problem, though I haven't really looked any further yet. The page can be accessed @:

Re: [data-protection] New Website
I hope you're right, Tim. So far the site hasn't been particularly responsive, so I have no way of checking with any degree of ease. But it is still the beta version.
Ah well, shooting from the hip as usual, there is my blog about my experiences so far at http://tinyurl.com/yaak9mm
I'm trying the page that lets me 'list all datasets' to see if that gets me any closer. Well I have been for the last age. Methinks they need more oil for the abacus wires to let the beads slide faster. But that page produces zero results and their server is too busy to service a separate enquiry.

I think the idea is that the data is made available in a raw fomat, and then others can then exploit the data for a commercial purpose. The person who develops the App for the iPhone has presumably spent money on that development, so is charging for it. The point of the website is ?
in my opinion ? only partially to throw out data to the public. I think a major part of it is to facilitate re-use of data for commercial purposes, hence the iPhone apps.
Raw data is often not that useful by itself and needs refinement ?
either the public sector pays to do that, or it gives the raw data to the commercial sector, and they will reasonably expect a return on their investment.
