[snip] I think the main present differences from a quick read are (though I note your later comments in this thread about expanding the scope of CKAN ;0 ): a) uberblic is focused on being a "data store" (albeit a very large one!) -- whereas CKAN is focused on being a registry/catalogue linking into various resources and stores elsewhere b) uberblic is all about RDF/linked data -- whereas CKAN is happy to link to any kind of data/resources from an csv or xls to a SPARQL endpoint That said we're all hoping to integrate data in our different ways :) Rufus -- Promoting Open Knowledge in a Digital Age http://www.okfn.org/ - http://blog.okfn.org/ _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
