A big +1 - that captures it perfectly IMO Thanks Annette. On 07/01/2015 22:00, Annette Greiner wrote: > I think this muddies the picture a little bit.

The best practices are designed to meet the needs of information management staff, developers, and wider groups such as scientists interested in sharing and reusing research data on the Web. We encourage anyone involved in the data life cycle to become familiar with them, as today’s data consumers are tomorrow’s data publishers. Every attempt has been made to make the document as readable and usable as possible while still retaining the accuracy and clarity needed in a technical specification. > -- > Annette Greiner > NERSC Data and Analytics Services > Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory > 510-495-2935 > > On Jan 7, 2015, at 10:46 AM, Phil Archer <phila@w3.org> wrote: > >> I offer this: >> >> This document provides guidance primarily to those who publish data on the Web.

These best practices have been written to meet the needs of many different audiences from developers and information management staff to scientists interested in sharing and reusing research data on the Web.

If re-users will manipulate the data, don't you think that it will be good if they have some knowledge about the best practices used to create and publish the data? >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> So let’s try to define ‘audience’. I think the ‘audience’ for the BP document is the group of people that we want to act on the best practice. In the BP document, we’re trying to tell data publishers to do things in a certain way. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> This does not say that we’re not allowing anyone else, especially the data consumers; to read the document, but we’re not telling them to do anything themselves. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> What will happen is that when data consumers read the document, they might note that a particular publisher does not follow best practice as described in the BP document.

That Directive tells public sector bodies what they MUST and MUST NOT do. Anyone who wants to re-use information can read the Directive and the national law that implements it and then complain if a particular public sector body does not adhere to the principles laid down in the Directive. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Makx. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> -- >>>> Bernadette Farias Lóscio >>>> Centro de Informática >>>> Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - UFPE, Brazil >>>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> -- >>>> . . . .. . . >>>> . . . .. >>>> . .. . >>> >>> >> >> -- >> >> >> Phil Archer >> W3C Data Activity Lead >> http://www.w3.org/2013/data/ >> >> http://philarcher.org >> +44 (0)7887 767755 >> @philarcher1 >> > > -- Phil Archer W3C Data Activity Lead http://www.w3.org/2013/data/ http://philarcher.org +44 (0)7887 767755 @philarcher1
