UkGovPanelTools
There is a panel (UkGovData/Panel) of people planning getting UK Government data into Linked Open Data (and probably other forms).
The tools it will need will include
- An archived public mailing list
- An archived group-wide mailing list
- A wiki (or maybe use this one)
- A blog for announcements
- A web server with Webdav access for working
- An IRC server
- A conventional phone bridge.
- Some community ideas forum for public discussion, including an informal voting system for different gov data which people would like
When to comes to an alpha service:
- A web server with Webdav access for working
- Initial registry of sources just as RDF files
- An experimental web server for students to experiment with
- A SPARQL endpoint which can be filled with data available
- -- ideally the sparql server would be extended to support CSV output.
-- Virtuoso supports CSV output format for SPARQL Query Results, so data goes directly into Excel, for instance. Ditto WebDAV and all other features above.
Down the road a bit:
- Community informal voting system for areas in which ontology alignment would be valuable
- Community informal voting system for areas in which data quality should be improved
