Google's dataset publication guidelines

Interesting FYI:

Google has started a data set search beta[1] (there is also a blog about it by Natasha Noy[2]). Guidelines for publishing dataset for this search is described in [3]. Note that JSON-LD is one (and preferred) way of accompanying the metadata for a dataset which can be in schema.org <http://schema.org/> or W3C's DCAT.

Another usage example for JSON-LD:-)

P.S. It may be interesting to have a chat with Natasha, to see if she has some feedback on JSON-LD. Rob, next time you are in the Stanford area… (although I know Natasha pretty well, too).
