Let's try it out! The only thing that differs I guess is that the
opengov catalogs will contain datasets that are not (yet) considered
open and that we need a way to distinguish those from the pure ones
that CKAN is interested in. So license type may be a key area to agree
on.

In earlier discussions I have been thinking about a process model
where opengov-catalogs highlight datasets and discussion around those
in order to make them open (and transferable to CKAN).

As soon as I manage to find some more VoiD examples for simple
datasets in our use case it should be fairly straigtforward. Are there
VoiD people here that could provide some pointers?
