All, I continue to struggle with easy discovery of Government oriented Linked Data (UK and U.S. are examples). Basically, a long time ago, we established some core principles for Linked Open Data published to the Web. The components where broken down as follows: 1. Publish RDF Data Set archive URLs to a well known location -- http://esw.w3.org/DataSetRDFDumps 2. Publish SPARQL Endpoints -- e.g., <http://esw.w3.org/SparqlEndpoints> 3. Publish Linked Data -- an home page or deeply linked URI will do. DBpedia still provides a very nice template for the above. Unfortunately, most of the Govt oriented Linked Data projects haven't quite adopted the scheme above thereby making the process of discovering items 1-3 quite tedious. Suggestions: I think we can tackle this problem by doing the following: 1. Use the moniker Linked Open Govt Data (LOGD) for all Govt. oriented Linked Data projects 2. Use #hashtag #logd on Twitter and "logd" for tagging on del.cio.us -- one data is on del.icio.us or Twitter, its basically part of LOD via RDFizers etc.. So Far I have: 1. http://delicious.com/kidehen/logd -- del.icio.us tag -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca: kidehen
