[open-government] Open Data Directory - search engine for open datasets

[Ricardo Cabral]

I thought they were compatible, but I can change. The Open Data button links
to [1] where there is no exact "Open Data" definition. I understand that
"Open Data" is the same as "Open Knowledge Definition", right?


What should be the exact wording?


*All data licensed under the **Open Knowledge
Definition*<http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/>
*.*


[1] http://www.opendefinition.org/

[2] http://www.opendefinition.org/okd
