Tue Feb 21 10:08:25 UTC 2012

Dear Sören,

would you maybe together with Tom Heath and Christian Bizer or others with be up drafting a section on LOD to be added to v1.1 of the handbook?

Version 1.0 will be released today. We will aim to release upcoming version in shorter intervals.

All the best
Daniel

Because of the name change to Open Data Handbook, open-data-manual at lists.okfn.org will become open-data-handbook at lists.okfn.org as of next Tuesday. There is no need to take action now, but if you use filters be aware that you may need to re-set them.
