> a work product along the lines of a "Linked Open Data Primer for Chief > Information Officers." This is the type of email that makes me glad to still be reading the WG emails from time to time. An identified need with a proposal for a concrete, bounded, achievable output. There are a number of documents on open gov data and linked open data already, so the question I have is: what aspects of these documents are or are not useful/convincing/understandable for a government CIO? (For one, they're probably all too long.)
