[euopendata] ICT-2010 networking session on gov linked data

Sat Feb 27 11:06:11 UTC 2010

Sören,

this looks really good. I have only a few comments, all are minor

- I think it would be good to emphasize the openness aspect. Ie, we are
talking about Linked Public Governmental Data. Maybe worth changing the
title accordingly? After all, there are a bunch of confidential
governmental data, and I do not believe we concentrate on those for the
moment...

- In the summary: with all my huge respects for Obama, I am not sure it
is appropriate to put his name there (or we should put Brown's name,
too). Ie:

'the Obama administration's Data.gov portal' -> 'the US Data.gov portal'

(it also saves some characters:-)

- I usually prefer to capitalize Semantic Web. Maybe it is just a W3C
usage...

- 'integrating data' -> 'integrating public data' (still in the summary)

A question: what do you mean by 'networking session will be supported'.
Ie, what does support mean? The reason I am asking is that if I know
what this means, I can try to get the same support from W3C and/or
ERCIM, but I have to know what we are talking about...

Cheers

Ivan
