Their quality is ...variable. I've spent some time cleaning things up, however departments seem to be very reluctant to updating their records with something infected from the outside world. Do you think that there is any scope for CKAN to hold blobs of data as alternative sources? 12:11:12 Brand said I have focused on working with a number of US government data spreadsheets with high quality that are updated regularly and would not suggest using blobs of data as alternatives since one looses the ability to do analytics/statistics on those data. See http://semanticommunity.net/ 12:11:39 For: My 'user story': I have a spreadsheet that I've cleaned up and want to provide back to the community so that the clean-up process doesn't need to be repeated. I want to upload that somewhere easily and forget about it. I use Spotfire to store the cleaned up spreadsheets, do statistics and visualizations, and provide back to the commmunity as CSV downl 12:12:20 present+ Michael 12:12:25 present+ Brand 12:12:34 RRSAgent, draft minutes 12:12:34 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/11/05-egov-minutes.html mhausenblas 12:13:14 Zakim, who's here? 12:13:14 On the phone I see no one 12:13:15 On IRC I see Brand, RRSAgent, mhausenblas, MacTed, Zakim, sandro, trackbot 12:16:19 present+ Charly 12:16:19 http://innovativequery.com 12:17:38 s/Charly/Charlie 12:18:17 RRSAgent, draft minutes 12:18:17 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/11/05-egov-minutes.html mhausenblas 12:20:24 Charlie has joined #egov 12:20:34 welcome Charlie! 12:21:08 http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/Projects/GLD_Demo/ChallengeDraft 12:22:05 Super, thanks. 12:23:03 http://www.data.gov/conference 12:25:02 ACTION: Hausenblas to invite OKFN for org 12:25:02 Created ACTION-119 - Invite OKFN for org [on Michael Hausenblas - due 2010-11-12]. 12:26:02 Topic: AOB 12:26:29 [adjourned] 12:26:35 T&S_EGOV(LD Demo)8:00AM has ended 12:26:36 Attendees were 12:26:44 trackbot, end telecon 12:26:44 Zakim, list attendees 12:26:44 sorry, trackbot, I don't know what conference this is 12:26:45 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 12:26:45 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/11/05-egov-minutes.html trackbot 12:26:46 RRSAgent, bye 12:26:46 I see 1 open action item saved in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/05-egov-actions.rdf : 12:26:46 ACTION: Hausenblas to invite OKFN for org [1] 12:26:46 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/05-egov-irc#T12-25-02
