[epsi-coord] Trailblazers

[Hans Graux]

Hi Daniel,

I just talked to Marc about it, and this looks like a good final list to
me. The guys from Rotterdam would then have separate tables and wouldn't
be involved in the trailblazers, since indeed their level of
accomplishment is not quite the same yet as these candidates.

Will you then contact and invite them? With any luck, we'll have at least
three acceptances, and we'll be all set. It might be best not to mention
travel/hotel budget yet, and see if anyone asks for it directly; that way
we can keep costs under control.

Hans

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"
