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

Hi Pete

This is really cool. I just added our dataset: Fishes of Texas, which we
link to TaxonConcept :)

http://ckan.net/package/fishes-of-texas


However, I don't see an option where I can add this dataset to the lodcloud
group. However, I have all the tags. I hope that is enough.

We are currently in the process of shifting servers so the the uris aren't
working right now, but it should all be up and running by the end of the
week.

Cheers
