OBE for Surrey technical director
A Surrey technical director has received an OBE in the New Year's Honours.
Jeni Tennison from Epsom is the technical director of the Open Data Institute.
Before joining the ODI, she was the technical architect and lead developer for legislation.gov.uk, which pioneered the use of open data APIs within the public sector.
She set a new standard in the publication of legislation on the web, and formed the basis of The National Archives’ strategy for bringing the UK’s legislation up to date as open, public data.
