[publicdata-eu] Antwort: Re: Countries on publicdata.eu

Hi all,

from a potential consumer's perspective, I would strongly support the
second approach.
Don't throw things away, but make it clear where it comes from and what it
is about.
And let the user decide which datasets suit him for his purpose and which
not.
BTW: The information, what region a dataset covers (World, Europe, Germany,
...) ist an extremely useful one.

So basically start by tipping all the apples out of the bucket, and
adding/tagging the official/verified ones for the core publicdata.eu
metadata? Or are we thinking something like a universe/multiverse
approach here - where we include international datasets, but not as
the core focus?
