[euopendata] Getting started with CKAN in the Netherlands -- nl.ckan.net?

Thu Jun 17 09:18:24 UTC 2010

Dear Rinke, Christophe, Arthur,

I was just talking to Ton Zijlstra about the possibility of setting up
a Dutch instance of CKAN, the open source data registry software used
in data.gov.uk -- in the first instance at nl.ckan.net.

I wonder whether any of you know anyone who might be willing to help
with the translation? I understand that this takes around 2 to 4
hours.

Apparently in July a study will be published giving details of open
(and not so open) datasets from the Dutch government. If we can get a
hold of the material underlying this study in e.g. spreadsheets format
(which Ton thinks we might be able to) and under an open license, then
we can load this into the registry to get it started!

What do you think?

All the best,

Jonathan
