getTheData.org New Data Announcements Page
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][1] 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?
