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

Fri Oct 14 21:40:31 UTC 2011

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:

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
