[ckan-discuss] CKAN Participation

[John Erickson]

Hi!

Yes, I demonstrated the prototype of the IOGDC at the Edinburgh
meeting; you saw the more polished version (with more datasets). We
are happy to find a way to work with CKAN and TheDataHub.org, but we
just haven't had the opportunity...yet.

Please keep in mind that one of the main goals of our IOGDC work is to
demonstrate the value of a standard dataset catalog vocabulary, esp.
DCAT (which ours is very similar to). We would hope that the many
government dataset catalogs that we had to "scrape" to create IOGDC
would be motivated to publish Linked Data versions of their catalogs
using DCAT!

Thanks for the interest!

John
