Re: Launching the Open Data Directory [via Open Data Directory Community Group]

Hi Bernadette,

Is this any 'open data', as in Data.gov, or only open data using Web linked data technologies ("Open Linked Data")...the  name of the I initiative "Open Data Directory" is inconsistent with the text in the message...which seems directed specifically at Open Linked Data...?

Depending on the focus, different parties would need to be involved.  There is an NIH/NLM Data Catalog initiative, and there is the Data.gov initiative (one might argue those are somewhat redundant with each other...but that's a different issue), and those projects could overlap directly with a "Open Data Directory", but if this is just Open < Linked >Data Directory, then the redundancy is removed.

Hi GLD'ers,
The Open Data Directory Community Group is officially up and running.  I invited anyone interested in helping to progress the directory's requirements, visualizations & overall usefulness to join the group.  We are committed to maintaining this directory as a place to find out about open data projects.  Today these are Linked Data projects but in due course, it may grow to include other projects/products & services as the Open Web of Data evolves.

Cheers,
Bernadette Hyland
