Hi Jodi, OK, I see the issue. Indeed the appendix on available data is a bit unbalanced now, as it results from putting aside two things that were in one bigger section before (together with the bits on "data availability" that are in the "current situation" now): - a brief presentation of the report - more details on the issue of semantic connections (alignments). I can't really think of a way to introduce them in an elegant way. These are basically left-overs, but left-overs that are important, and refered to from the main report body. I hope readers will access them from that main report that cites them. I also count on the fact that readers would be less demanding, for a more technical appendix. And I'd be reluctant to remove them. It's good to have a teaser for the side deliverable on data. And the part on alignment issues is quite important. In fact via the blog comments we've been asked to write even more on it... Cheers, Antoine > Thanks, Antoine!

If so *that*, to me, is what requires an introduction (i.e. explaining the larger whole). Alternately, perhaps they are each subsections, and we can get rid of the heading "Available Vocabularies and Datasets"? > > -Jodi > > On 19 Aug 2011, at 22:02, Antoine Isaac wrote: > >> Hi Jodi, >> >> I feel there was already a kind of introduction in the section you're pointing at.

I think these are good ideas to take onboard, but as the material on available data has changed quite a lot in the past weeks, I'd like to be sure for which part, you'd suggest this introductory paragraph :-) >>>> >>>> - the "Data availability" sub-section (in "current situation") of the main report >>>> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/DraftReportWithTransclusion#Data_availability >>>> has a small introduction >>>> [ >>>> The success of linked library data relies on the ability of its practitioners to identify, re-use or connect to existing datasets and data models. Linked datasets and vocabularies that are essential in the library and related domains, however, have previously been unknown or unfamiliar to many. The LLD XG has thus initiated an inventory of available library-related linked data, which is presented in further detail in Section @@TODO@@ and has lead to the observations below. >>>> ] >>>> >>>> - the "Available Vocabularies and Datasets" technical section at the end of the main report >>>> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/DraftReportWithTransclusion#Available_Vocabularies_and_Datasets >>>> also has stuff presenting the inventory >>>> >>>> I agree that both may not address all your points.
