Hi all, as previously discussed on-list we are moving this mailing list from the SIMILE list server to the W3C list server today.
>From tomorrow on, please post massages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not send further mails to the old [email protected] mailing list. All members of the old list will automatically be moved to the new list. So you do not have to subscribe the new list manually. If you don't want to be moved, please opt-out by unsubscribing the old list at http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/linking-open-data or by sending a note to Ivan Herman. Please wait with sending messages to the new list until Ivan Herman announces that he is finished with transferring the subscribers. The new list has its archive at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/ The archives page also contain further links to (un)subscription, the list's RSS feed, as well a search interface to the content. The new list has the following, nice sounding list purpose: The [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list provides a discussion forum for members of the Linking Open Data project and the broader Linked Data community. The Linking Open Data project is a grassroots community effort founded in February 2007 as a W3C Semantic Web Education and Outreach Interest Group Community Project. The aim of the project is to identify datasets that are available under open licenses, re-publish these in RDF on the Web and interlink them with each other. Some statistics on the list so far: As the Linking Open Data community effort is quite successful in interlinking open data on the Web, the LOD mailing list is also quite successful in being subscribed. The list currently has 280 members and 1485 messages have been posted on it since its creation in February 2007. In the name of the whole Linking Open Data effort I would like to thank the SIMILE project and especially Stefano Mazzocchi for hosting our list for the last 13 month and thereby providing an essential communication channel for the project. Thanks a lot and it is really a pity that there are reorganizations at SIMILE. I think the whole community will miss the good work and the constant flow of cool and innovative user interfaces that came out of the project. If there are any further questions about the new mailing list, please inquire with me, Tom Heath or Ivan Herman. Have a nice day and I hope to meet many of you in person at the LDOW workshop next month in Beijing (http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2008/).
