[okfn-discuss] data.sncf.com - was: [sunlightlabs] TransportationCamp DC--January 21st

Wed Dec 7 13:53:35 UTC 2011

Hi everyone,

http://data.sncf.com/ - The French railway system is asking your opinion 
on open data.

My biggest concern is that they would advertise open data while not 
respecting the definition themselves. If they are opening data, they 
should do it the right way.

Let's make this clear on their website?

Kind regards,

Pieter
