[wbs] response to 'Call for Review: Dataset Exchange Working Group Charter'

The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Call for Review:
Dataset Exchange Working Group Charter' (Advisory Committee) for Mozilla
Foundation by David Baron.


The reviewer's organization does not support this Charter for the reasons
cited in comments but is not raising a Formal Objection.

Additional comments about the proposal:
   From the introduction to the charter, it appears this work is one of a
large set of competing metadata standards for datasets.  It’s not clear
to us why the W3C should be producing standards in this space.  While we
would likely object more strongly if this work if it were being proposed as
new work, our objection is less strong given that it is maintenance of work
that is ongoing.

Secondly, we think the statement in the charter (both current and proposed)
that the deliverables of the group should use the W3C Document License
should be updated to match most recent charters for other groups (and the
actual license of the documents the group has published!) and say that the
deliverables should use the W3C Software and Document license.

Finally, we would note that while the Charter History section of this
charter describes this as a new charter, it appears to be a new version of
a charter for an already-existing working group, whose current charter is
at https://www.w3.org/2017/dxwg/charter.


Answers to this questionnaire can be set and changed at
