Perhaps I lost something important in this thread but I am concerned
about another point: the content of the data. Even it is legally open,
technically open and socially open, its content can be something not
related at all with government.
I have been looking in detail Spanish Proyecto Aporta and Catalonian new
website and I can find things like links to search engines (which are to
be most of the 719 records of Proyecto Aporta) or homeopathy vocabulary
[1] in Gencat.
I wonder if some precision should be made in the definition about the
content of the data.
