RE: Use Case: Making Sense of Other People's Data

The use case is now included in the UCR editors draft @ http://w3c.github.io/csvw/use-cases-and-requirements/#UC-MakingSenseOfOtherPeoplesData 

Also see the two new requirements: 
- http://w3c.github.io/csvw/use-cases-and-requirements/#R-IndependentMetadataPublication 
- http://w3c.github.io/csvw/use-cases-and-requirements/#R-LinkFromMetadataToData
