Re: BP Guidelines

Replying to the questions you posed Steve:

1.  Are worst practices always the absence of a specific or generic best
practice?

Worst practices might also include misinterpretations of the best practices
(I suppose examples need to be supplied here to support these two
additional proposed "worst practices":
*  Altered best practice:  Either misinterpreted best practice or
intentionally altering best practice leading to syntactically confusing
solutions that don't align with the Open Data community.
*  Failure to serve data consumer communities:  Best practice(s) that
support well formed "Open Data", but fail to provide valid solutions for
downstream that are useful to downstream consumer communities.

2.  Do we have use case examples of worst or absent practices?

Yes, in fact I'm wondering if we could take the challenges section in many
of the use cases and use them as examples of worst/absent practices.

3.  Could we think about a maturity scale of practices from 0 to 5 or 7 so
as to provide users with an understanding of where they are today and what
they need to do to improve?

This is a great idea.
