RE: dwbp-ISSUE-40: Review R-Citable as a requirement for Data Usage

A URI should be sufficient, if the data is described with metadata. Unless there was a case where an author wanted to cite not only the data source, but also how they used the data? But this is probably outside of our scope. 

In any case I agree we make R-Citable a general requirement, as opposed to a data usage requirement. Best practice around how this requirement is implemented can be discussed by Best Practice group.

DataCite is indeed for research data but you could imagine similar schemes for other types of data. Not saying we should do this, just that I wondered whether R-Citable intended to be more than requiring that data gets a URI.
