Yes, lets do this.

I think it's really just go through the 5 sheets in the Google Doc. There are multiple duplications. 

However It would be good to agree on a scheme before consolidation. Some of the sheets have lat/log (which is obviously good to have) wile some others have "geographical regions" like Oceania.

Theres are some of the fields used in the different sheets:

LONG	LATT	
REGION
STATE	
LOCATION
COVERAGE
NAME
URL
STATUS
RUN BY
URL
LAUNCHED
IS THE DATA "OPENLY LICENSED"?
BULK DOWNLOAD?
API AVAILABLE (Y/N)
AVAILABLE DATA FORMATS (E.G. RDF, CSV, XML, ...)	
CKAN PACKAGE

I consider these useful. There are some others I am not sure about:

If API available - what kind of API
Number of data sets available
Used technology for data portal
APPS available (Y/N)
Nr of APPS available
Any ongoing competitions?
OGD events calender for country available (Y/N)

Can we agree on the scheme? Also I know Tim is doing something on this. @Tim what do you think?

Regards
Daniel
