[epsi-coord] Trailblazers

[Hans Graux]

I think that would be OK, yes. One small question: Marc pointed out to me
that the people behind Rotterdam Open Data (www.rotterdamopendata.org)
would also like to present their initiative at the conference, and they
might make a good candidate as well (especially since it's a 'home match'
for them). However, they don't seem to be on our shortlist. Have they not
registered as a trailblazer candidate? Just thought I'd doublecheck with
you first.

Thanks Hans, I agree and am happy to change the categories, but "societal
impact, economic impact and innovation" is difficult. Do you think it
might be a problem with the EC if we changed to simple PSI categories? I
also don't insist having Infor.am we could drop or change to

Znasichdani, corporate data, public procurement: http://znasichdani.sk/
[SK]

So the revised list would look:

1. Sejmometr, parliamentary data: http://sejmometr.pl/ [PL]

Technically and visually very well elaborated website that makes data from
the polish parliament available. Awarded for category: "parliamentary
data"

2. Znasichdani, corporate data, public procurement: http://znasichdani.sk/
[SK]

Project allows for Search for persons and companies that do business with
the state.
Awarded for category: "procurement data"

3. Open Cultuur Data, cultural heritage data:
http://www.opencultuurdata.nl/ [NL]

Project that opens up cultural heritage data and encourages development of
valuable cultural applications. Awarded for category: "cultural heritage
data"

4. TrafikLab, transport data: http://trafiklab.se/ [SE]

Single point of entry for developers interested in traffic-related data
such as public transit, parking and road accidents. Data is available over
variety of transport-related open API's. Awarded for category: "traffic
data"
