[VoCamp Discuss] ramping up

[Juan Sequeda]

re topics/domains for vocabs, I found it useful to look at webapps that have
public apis. If you find the domain of that webapp interesting, then see if
a vocab exists for it and you can use the api as a guide.

Something on my to-do list, if I ever have time is do create a vocab that
could triplify the data of kiva.org (loans, entrepreneurs) I started it but
didn't get far. Maybe somebody would find it interesting...
