Implementations of Data Catalog Vocabulary
From the post:
The Government Linked Data (GLD) Working Group today published the Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT) as a Candidate Recommendation. DCAT allows governmental and non-governmental data catalogs to publish their entries in a standard machine-readable format so they can be managed, aggregated, and presented in other catalogs.
Originally developed at DERI, DCAT has evolved with input from a variety of stakeholders and is now stable and ready for widespread use. If you have a collection of data sources, please consider publishing DCAT metadata for it, and if you run a data catalog or portal, please consider making use of DCAT metadata you find. The Working Group is eager to receive comments reports of use at public-gld-comments@w3.org and is maintaining an Implementation Report.
If you know anyone in the United States government, please suggest this to them.
The more time the U.S. government spends on innocuous data, the less time it has to spy on its citizens and the citizens and governments of other countries.
I say innocuous data because I have yet to see any government release information that would discredit the current regime.
Wasn’t true for the Pentagon Papers, the Watergate tapes or the Snowden releases.
Can you think of any voluntary release of data by any government that discredited a current regime?
The reason for secrecy isn’t to protect techniques or sources.
Guess whose incompetence would be exposed by transparency?
