[okfn-coord] Fwd: Grant Funding Call 12/08: JISC Information Environment and e-Research

[Jonathan Gray]

This looks like it could be an interesting one to apply for.

I suggest applying with CKAN and trying to get comprehensive coverage
+ domain specific metadata for open data in a given discipline. We
should also have institutional affiliation of some kind - preferably
with multiple places. So perhaps with PMR and people at Southampton
for open scientific data. Or with Nottingham (and others?) for open
geodata.

What do people think?
