We believe that dedicating data to the public domain is the best way to ensure that data is universally reusable and remixable. When data is public domain it means that it can be reused automatically without needing to check terms and conditions or track the source of every statement to provide attribution. These kinds of things act as friction to reuse, wasting energy that could be better spent creating inspiring things.
Factual is a platform where anyone can share and mash open data on any subject. We provide smart tools to help the community build and maintain a trusted source of structured data. And this data can be used through widgets and APIs to help application developers and content publishers be more innovative and productive.

In Europa arbeitet auch WWW-Erfinder Tim Berners-Lee daran mit, die Datenschätze der Behörden zugänglich zu machen.
