Re: Live DWBP Use Case: eboladata.org

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your negative feedback.  The DKAN implementation is run by a
friend of mine who would be quite willing to implement any additions to the
old DCAT we recommend.  But if everyone is too busy with their own POC's
and other interests I'll just shut up and let you get on with the serious
work and go back to organizing use case conference calls that no one
attends.

Thanks.


Best Regards,

Steve

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.

  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
