Publicbodies.org is an Open Knowledge Labs project that aims to aggregate data on public organizations around the world, making them searcheable in a single database on the publicbodies.org website.
The website and tools are open sourced and hosted on Github, as is the data brought by volunteers.
The project already has a common data model for public organizations, which is constantly being evolved.
This information should be added to Chapter 4, under list of exisiting solutions.

Please change priority to normal, as the rest of the issues are.
It seems "critical" was the default choice for issue reporting and I had just left it as it was. Now I can't edit it myself.
Noting that I had completed work on that project to bring it more in line with the W3C Organization Ontology.
Thanks Augusto. I have added that example to the doc - and yes, James, I can see where many of your other comments come from now :-)
Phil,
this issue has been closed, but I looked at the second draft and couldn't find the example you added. What section of the document did you add this to?
You are right, Augusto, sorry. I think I closed the issue and then meant to add the text to the doc - and but failed to do so. I have now (you'll see it as section 4.5 by the end of the week). I reused your text here with only minor modifications as follows:
Publicbodies.org is an Open Knowledge Labs project that aims to aggregate data on public organisations around the world, making them searchable in a single database on the publicbodies.org website. The tools and relevant open source code are hosted on Github, as is the data submitted by volunteers.
The project uses a simple tabular data model, which is under constant evolutionary change.
