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

I am kind of annoyed by the CKAN site.

1) A lot of this information they are requesting are already provided by my
void file, sitemap.xml and SPARQL Endpoint
2) My google openID does not seem to work on this site and their are no
non-openid account setup alternative.
3) The TaxonConcept data set is much more interlinked that my other data set
GeoSpecies.

Respectively,

- Pete
