This email prompted a discussion about how to the data collection or diagram could be improved or updated. As CKAN is an open platform and anyone can add additional tags to datasets, why doesn't everyone who is interested in seeing a particular improvement or alternate view of the data just go ahead and do it? There's no need to require all this to be done by one team on a fixed schedule. Some light co-ordination between people doing similar analyses would be worthwhile, but it wouldn't be hard to, e.g. tag datasets based on whether their Linked Data or SPARQL endpoint is available regularly, whether they're currently maintained, or (my current bug bear) whether the data dumps they publish parse with more than one tool chain. It'd be nice to see many different aspects of the cloud being explored.
