Hi Prodromos,
Great to hear that you're getting the CKAN Greek translations done.
Make sure to join the ckan-dev list
<ckan.org/developers/mailing-lists/> and let it know when you are
done, or if you have any problems.
On case studies etc, the following might be useful:
CKAN instances around the world: http://ckan.org/instances/
Detailed case studies: ckan.org/case-studies/
CKAN certainly seems a good fit for HOMER. Its APIs are a particularly
strong feature, and could certainly be used to support catalogue
federation. Again, you may get some more helpful suggestions and
answers to your questions on the mailing lists.
Regards,
Mark Wainwright
