Hi Steve, > > Please imagine now how it could be better. One of my favorite example in this case is the open data communities website. [1] They have a clear URI policy. For the Local Authorities Dataset, the identifier of Hampshire County Council is http://opendatacommunities.org/id/county-council/hampshire, which is dereferenceable to http://opendatacommunities.org/doc/county-council/hampshire in your browser. They also point to different format distributed. They also show datasets by theme, see here http://opendatacommunities.org/themes/geography for geography, and the corresponding metadata at http://opendatacommunities.org/def/concept/themes/geography. Look out this visu at http://opendatacommunities.org/deprivation/map referenced the datasets used. Well, maybe what is missing is the use of a more standardized vocab for catalog (DCAT)? To me, they contain many good examples for best practices document . Cheers, Ghislain [1] http://opendatacommunities.org/ -- --- Ghislain A.
