If I understood correct, I think we should provide best practices for those
who consume data on the Web,for example someone who is interested on
developing an application that uses data available on the Web to produce a
visualization for final users. Does it make sense for you?


Additionally, what aspects of the current working document [0] concerns

Yes, the current version is more focused  on the data publisher. However,
aspects like data enrichment and feedback are related to data consumers.
Maybe, later on more aspects related to data consumers will be identified.
Do you have any suggestion of how to clarify this?

I agree with you! I'm gonna replace guidance for best practice.

I'm not sure if we can use footnotes. Maybe, we can be more clear about
this on the text, but I'm not sure of how to do this. The aspects are the
ones related to vocabularies, but i think it looks strange if we write: "Basic
knowledge about vocabularies and ontologies would be helpful to better
understand best practices related to vocabularies.”

Do you have a better suggestion?

Hopefully the criticism/commentary can be taken positively. Thank you for

Thanks again for your comments! This kind of feedback is really important
and helpful!
