Re: Call for comments on open questions about the audience for the DWBP doc

*Great questions Bernadette!*


*Q1: What is the real audience for the DWBP document?*


Primarily for anyone who writes web data.  Based on how the charter was
written: data publishers and developers.



*Q2: What will be the target audience for the BP? Data publishers or Data
Publishers and Data Consumers?*



Agree with Annette and Makx Q1 and Q2 should be the same answer.


*Q3: Should we talk about data consumers in general or just about
developers?*


Yes.  I like Makx definition of developers and I'm open to this
perspective. Data consumers are the target audience  of data on the web and
can't be completely ignored, even if the BP document scope is limited to
publishers.



*Q4: What is the role of a data consumer? *


Consumers are the customers of data previously written by publishers and
developers.


Consumers retrieve data hosted on the web using HTTP methods, after
retrieval and use of the data, and might possibly write data using HTTP
methods.  I'm not distinguishing between those using advanced tools or
working at an API level.
