[ckan4rdm] using CKAN as research data repository

[Marta Hoffman-Sommer]

Thanks a lot for the hints - this is great help. We are now looking at 
your extensions in detail, together with my colleagues. The DOI 
extension should work for us, I think, and that's very important (we're 
aware that we will need a contract for this). I'll be watching for your 
embargo extension. And if we stick to our decision of using CKAN (which 
we most likely will), then I will certainly have more questions.

Best,
Marta
