Survey Results

I'll post links to the survey dataset and results from this page.

...you and/or your dataset are too hard to find.

Survey Questions

To publishers of datasets tagged "lod", but not part of the lodcloud group

  1. Does the tag 'lod' on the dataset dataset mean "Linked Open Data"?

To all publishers

  1. What kind of organization produced dataset dataset (e.g., academic, commercial, government, personal, etc.)? Feel free to list all that apply.

  2. What tools were used to create and publish the dataset dataset? Were those tools developed in house, and are they publicly available?

  3. Did you publish any papers based on the dataset dataset? Feel free to list as many as you like.

  4. Do you know of any applications that use dataset dataset? How did you find out about them?

To publishers of datasets tagged "lod", but not part of the lodcloud group

  1. Did you tag the dataset dataset as "lod" with an interest for it to become part of http://datahub.io/group/lodcloud, the group used to create the LOD Cloud Diagram (http://lod-cloud.net)?

  2. Did you try to fulfill the lodcloud group's metadata requirements for the dataset dataset (http://www.w3.org/wiki/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData/DataSets/CKANmetainformation)? If so, how easy do you think it was on a scale from 1 (very easy) to 10 (most difficult)?

  3. Did you use the lodcloud validator http://validator.lod-cloud.net/validate.php to help fulfill the lodcloud group's metadata requirements for dataset dataset? If so, how helpful was it on a scale from 1 (not helpful) to 10 (very helpful)?

To publishers of datasets in the "lodcloud group"

  1. On a scale from 1 (very easy) to 10 (most difficult), how easy do you think it was to fulfill the lodcloud group's metadata requirements for the dataset dataset (http://www.w3.org/wiki/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData/DataSets/CKANmetainformation)?

  2. On a scale from 1 (not helpful) to 10 (very helpful), how helpful was the lodcloud validator in helping you fulfill the lodcloud group's metadata requirements for dataset dataset (http://validator.lod-cloud.net/validate.php)?

To all publishers

  1. Is the dataset dataset still being maintained? If not, why not (e.g., project funding ended, original objective was achieved, lost interest, etc.)?

  2. On a scale from 1 (most difficult) to 10 (very easy), how easy do you think it would be for another expert developer to reproduce the Linked Data in dataset dataset?

  3. What factors would make it easy or difficult to reproduce the same dataset (e.g., availability of the original data, provenance available within the Linked Data itself, domain expertise, thoroughness of documentation, and the tools that were used).

  4. Would you like to see a new version of the LOD Cloud Diagram (http://lod-cloud.net)? Why or why not?

What is next?
