Live DWBP Use Case: eboladata.org

Here is a live use case of Open Data that is community developed and
self-organized.  On 10/18 a group that I pulled together met in NYC to
create eboladata.org, which is an index of Open Data resources devoted to
Ebola.  We used DCAT as the metadata vocabulary, and stored the index in a
DKAN repository.

I offer this as a live POC opportunity for DWBP to explore our concepts for
vocabularies and best practices not later at the end of our exhaustive
standards process, but now.  Today.  Here is an open environment where we
can test out our ideas live and use more iterative development processes to
infuse our work with hands on real experience.

I hope this team accepts this opportunity.

eboladata.org is the URL.  You can join the self-organizing community here
