RE: ISSUE: Governmental data servers

I don't understand why we are making this distinction.  "Data Servers" may
provide services via API and "service servers" may provide data as a
service.

Dear Leigh,

As a WG for Data on the Web, there should be some guidelines on what data
should be published "official data server", though the same contact might
be available in other servers.

The domain "europa.eu" states that it is an official European Union web
site. So,  it is related to reliability, timeliness and provenance.

The question of collection vs. third level domain is *not* academic: it is
very much a real and current issue.

  http://data.europa.eu/foo      # foo is a collection in the EU data
server
  http://foo.europa.eu                # foo is a service with its own
domain

Regards
Tomas

Hi,

I don't think that is a useful distinction to be made. Sometimes data
can be published directly from an application or service from its same
domains, other times it may need to be published separately at a
different sub-domain either for architectural (scaling, deployment) or
technical (different applications) reasons.

Even if data is published at a different domain this doesn't imply
anything about its reliability, timeliness, provenance, etc.

Cheers,

L.
