[open-science] LODD on CKAN (was Minutes from WG Meeting Feb 16 2011)

Tue Feb 22 00:26:52 UTC 2011

Hi All

I've posted this to the CKAN discuss list as well because they may be better
placed to address the points raised by Egon here:
http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2011/02/ckan-and-rdf-nice-example-on-why.html

For those who are new to this thread, the Open Science working group are
planning a package party/hack session on linked open drug data (Monday 7th
March, 19.00 GMT), but a couple of things have been identified which it
would be good to clear up first.

If someone with a good knowledge of CKAN workings would also be able to join
in with us on the night via the OKF IRC channel that would be fantastic :)

Actually, that record is not a group, but a catalog record itself...
see my thoughts I wrote up this morning:

http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2011/02/ckan-and-rdf-nice-example-on-why.html

I did create an actual group, to which I will add the currently listed
12 data sets LODD 'redistributes'...

I have send around this meeting within the LODD group, and several
participants will join in.

Right now, it would be good to get those CKAN definitions tuned for
what is supposed to be in a record. I have outlined some problems in
that blog post given earlier, and hope that this can be the start of a
general clean up effort...

Whom should we talk to, to get those definitions of what is a
'dataset' worked out?

Subject: Work/Hack session on LODD / IsItOpenData
To: public-semweb-lifesci at w3.org

Hi all,

on February 16 there was an OpenScience Workgroup [0] meeting of the
Open Knowledge Foundation, where we scheduled a work session for
Monday March 7th at 19:00 GMT, for about an hour, to work on
clarifying the data licensing of LODD data sets, such as those listed
on CKAN. For some data sets the license is clear, others have
non-commercial clauses (which is not considered "Open Data"), and
others do not specify the terms, or are not open at all. For example,
the below diagram a CAS node which is not open data at all:

http://www.w3.org/wiki/HCLSIG/LODD/Data

In fact, the unclear license issue was one of the referee comments on
the LODD contribution to the thematic issue on RDF in chemistry
(coordinated by Matthias).

Please let me know if interested in joining the meeting,

Egon
