[okfn-discuss] Open Definition 2.1 draft started

[Herb Lainchbury]

FYI

The latest draft of the Open Definition 2.1 is available here:
https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/blob/master/source/open-definition-2.1-dev.markdown

The diff between version 2.0 and 2.1 is here:
https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/compare/6593b9607805079850323f16394bc7d4e2f974bd...21f396c9a125873e9b70333e2e415e7859f9517b

The discussion on this has largely quieted down and as chair I expect to
ask the Advisory Council to vote on this in the next week or two.

Feel free to comment on the od-discuss list and join the discussion.

Thank you,
Herb Lainchbury
Chair, Open Definition Advisory Council
