Seeing the tweet: @DefraGovUK: wild bird population National Stats out today http://bit.ly/g7No0I [via @jennybee] earlier today, I wondered whether it would make sense: 1) to have an area of getTheData.org where publishers of data could make publication announcements about new data sets they had released? A nice to have would then be: 2) for the system to make a recommendation to the person submitting the announcement about related questions, that they might then answer? Noting the rather nice 'possibly related data sets on CKAN' widget on getTheData, I also wonder whether: 3) there might an opportunity for a reciprocal widget on CKAN that alerts package owners/maintainers to questions on getTheData that the package might be related to, alerting the owner to the possibility of promoting their package via an answer on getTheData? tony |

All of these are great ideas Tony. I wonder if item (1) might fit better into http://ckan.net -- then item (2) might follow from (3). Item (3) would be a nice complement to the 'Related Datasets' in GetTheData (in fact, I'd originally thought about something like GetTheData as a way to provide a 'discussion' area for CKAN datasets!). Shall we try working in on item (3) first? |
