Jonathan Gray is Community Coordinator at the Open Knowledge Foundation, which means he spends much of his time talking to people, and encouraging them to talk to each other, and thinking about how the Foundation can continue to support communities of people interested in creating or working with open knowledge in different areas — from scientists and civil servants to hackers and historians.

He founded the Where Does My Money Go? project, a website which allows users to explore and visually represent UK public spending, as well as Bibliographica, a service to enable users to collaboratively develop lists of publications for their research.

More generally he works with advocates and stakeholders to encourage governments to open up information for others to reuse. He is particularly interested in how information visualisation can be used to help understand this material (from Otto Neurath to Hans Rosling).

He studies philosophy and the history of ideas at Royal Holloway, University of London, and hence has a strong interest in new tools to aid teaching and research in the humanities. He is also interested in projects which make it easier to find and reuse public domain works.
