[datahub-discuss] Datahubio outdated datasets

[Timothy Lebo]

Richard, Ivan.

Looks like we all have different perspectives :-)

I’d rather spend time on the datasets that *are* alive versus those that have died.
So, I’m indifferent. Delete away!

As far as VoID from CKAN, there’s:
https://github.com/timrdf/DataFAQs/blob/master/services/sadi/ckan/lift-ckan.py
and I’m already collecting VoID snapshots, but I’m downstream from source.

Best,
Tim
