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

Hi Pete,

we are aiming at CKAN being the data registry for the LOD datasets and for people to easily get the information needed on datasets for using them. So it is essential to provide information like links between datasets and links to voiD file, SPARQL endpoint, license etc..
As far as the voiD file and sitemap can be found on the project websites we already pulled the data from them and put it into CKAN. For TaxonConcept this isn't the case. So please add the information to CKAN or at least the links to the voiD file and sitemap.xml.

I forwarded this to the CKAN team. But you can still edit without logging in.

> 3) The TaxonConcept data set is much more interlinked that my other data set GeoSpecies.

So please provide us with either the stats or the links to voiD and sitemap.

Cheers,
Anja
