Re: Live DWBP Use Case: eboladata.org

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the pointer and keeping us updated, very interesting as usual.
Just an aside, please note that you are not really using DCAT there, but
the very same quite flawed (old version) implementation made by CKAN for
which DKAN is a PHP based port. You could be easily checking that yourself
just comparing the DKAN output against the specification.

As a deference to the group members please also note that all of us are
indeed already providing our hands-on real experience to infuse the
exhaustive standards process we are driving here. You can see some examples
from my side below, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the group members could
be extending the list into the sunset in case you have any doubt on where
our recommendations and thoughts come from. Obviously, we all are also
continuously eating our own dog food and trying to apply what we pray at
our own POCs and live projects. So, just being part of this group is
already an opportunity and a challenge per se. That's what all this is
about.

Finally I'm afraid that, unless you plan to be branching and contributing
to the DKAN development, I think you will have few margin to be exploring
anything there by yourselves. The fact that the project is just aggregating
external data and not producing its own won't be helping to test anything
new either.
