[open-science] Some ideas what is missing in open science from OpenCon 2014

Mon Nov 24 21:58:47 UTC 2014

Thanks for these suggestions, indeed.

And yes, I was referring to the Open Data Index as an example of what we
could do at the national level. This is already complex enough to figure
out so I would give it a try and see how it works (or not :) ) before
attempting to structure anything around a more local investigation and
evaluation.

I suggest we fork this discussion so as to not hijack Mitar's thread :)
