Minor comment on the DWPB draft (version May 19)

- In example four[2] it is probably a good practice to use datatypes that are as specific as possible to allow for data checks, for example. The one that comes to my mind is the "stop_url"; [2] includes the "anyURI" datatype, it is probably worth using it. There may be other such cases in the listed example.

B.t.w., it may be a good idea to refer to the CSVW primer[3] in this context. Maybe it goes too far to include it in this document, but [4] also includes an example on how to incorporate geospatial data into the metadata (which may be more appropriate for the bus stop example); it may be worth at least mentioning it in the text.

Cheers

Ivan
