Berners-Lee and the open-data bunch: £60k for your best collab dataset register ideas • The Register

"The ODI aims to address the issue of collaborative registers, by asking companies to develop tools or techniques that will advance current practice.

It is offering £60,000 for a company to spend five months – from September this year to February 2018 – carrying out R&D that will improve the way collaborative registers are created or managed.

The ODI says that projects could include: developing technical, governance and policy recommendations for designing collaborative registers, or creating a platform that will help organisations maintain such a register."
