Re: Data on the Web scope issue

Hi Makx,
Thanks for this proposal.

> ·         Business information, e.g. patent and trademark information, public tender databases;
> ·         Cultural heritage information, e.g. library, museum, archive collections;
> ·         Geographic information, e.g. maps, aerial photos, geology;
> ·         Infrastructure information, e.g. electricity grid, telecommunications, water supply, garbage collection;
> ·         Legal information, e.g. supranational (e.g. EU) and national legislation and treaties, court decisions;
> ·         Meteorological information, e.g. real-time weather information and forecasts, climate data and models;
> ·         Political information, e.g. parliamentary proceedings, voting records, budget data, election results;
> ·         Social data, e.g. various types of statistics (economic, employment, health, population, public administration, social);
> ·         Tourism information, e.g. events, festivals and guided tours;
> ·         Transport information, e.g. information on traffic flows, work on roads and public transport.

Based on this nice view of catalogs worldwide published by RPI [1] , I can suggest that we have a special focus on Geographic information ,  imagery , transportation networks, statistics (in various domain) . Those domains per se have special different formats and can deal with variety, versioning and life span. 

Best,
Ghislain
