> Given the announcement [1] and subsequent discussion[2] of the UK

> thought it would be a great time for our community to discuss how we can
> encourage and foster the exposure of Dutch data sets (government, public,
> educational). Therefore, the topic for the next Semantic Web Meetup is
> Linking Open Dutch Data.

> We are also looking for presenters for lightening talks. If you'd like to
> give a lightening talk about what you do, send us a title and brief
> description. We'll select a nice set and let you know.
> 
> For the breakouts, we will have two groups. One group will focus on
> discussing how what we can do to encourage and promote the exposure of
> Dutch Data as Linked Data. The second group will focus on working together
> to quickly expose some data sets as Linked Data.
