[datacatalogs] Welcome to the data-catalogs mailing list!

[Jonathan Gray]

Hi all,

This mailing list is for people who are interested in running,
maintaining or working with open data catalogs. Discussion will
include things like how to set up a data catalog, data catalog
interoperability and metadata exchange, metadata standards (such as
DCAT), and best practises. As a bit of background, here are some notes
that came out of a meeting in Edinburgh earlier this year:

http://lod2.okfn.org/2011/05/04/notes-from-data-catalogues-interoperability-workshop-edinburgh-3-4th-may-2011/
http://lod2.okfn.org/2011/06/07/next-steps-on-datacatalogs-org/

It is also a place to discuss things like datacatalogs.org, a
comprehensive list of data catalogs from around the world:
http://datacatalogs.org/

One can now create and maintain 'groups' of different data catalogs
for different purposes on the site. More information here:

http://datacatalogs.org/group

If you know colleagues who might be interested in joining this list,
we'd be most grateful if you could invite them!

All the best,

Jonathan
