[open-science] State of "Is it Open Data"?

Tue Jul 20 05:56:02 UTC 2010

This service was created by OKF volunteers who are to be congratulated. The
challenge now is to get a critical mass of usage on the service so that we
get confidence in its value. The more questions that are asked the more
convincing. Note, of course, that no-one is required to reply (unlilke
WhatDoTheyKnow.com where the FOI law requires a reply). So please use it -
it's up to us to make it work.
