Re: Linked Data Shopping List

Good stuff - Got me distracted from my marking!
I have added some structure (I found someone had added imdb while I was
adding it myself :-) ).
We need to distinguish between the real supplier providing the data, and
someone else (such as me) providing a linked data version of it.
So, as an example, we have the CORDIS and NSF stuff, but we want the EU and
NSF to embrace and publish them. Having a resource that helps someone at the
right moment say: "Look what should be done - someone else has done what
they can, but now you need to take it on, and maybe you should talk to
them." might be good.
So I am assuming that this is for data owners who are supplying the data,
and does not usurp the other linked data page, but it could usefully have
such other links.
Cheers
