Re: Next version of the LOD cloud diagram. Please provide input, so that your dataset is included.

Wow Anja, that is so cool that you guys have done all that stuff on CKAN for
us - many thanks.

In reviewing as requested, I have a question please:

I have some datasets that appear in
Datasets that require more detailed information
such as http://ckan.net/package/rkb-explorer-jisc, but I can't see the
difference between that and something like
http://ckan.net/package/rkb-explorer-ieee which is in the
Datasets in the next LOD Cloud
Section.
Can you give me a hint of what needs to be done to fix please?

Best
Hugh
