Re: Action-47 Proposed Data Usage Vocabulary Definition

Hi Eric,

I think this bit of text is great. It may miss some cases, but of course in our current state it's difficult to do better. And your text is good acknowledging this limitation, and the need for later customization.

The only part I'm not happy with was triggered by the last bullet point: "Limitations:  specific constraints or limitations on data including: lifespan, availability, and audiences.". this is not about an application or data usage. This seems to be more about properties of a dataset being used (or not).

The charter [1] is pretty clear about Data Usage Description Vocabulary: "This will describe the use made of one or more data sets." It talks about "discoverability of the application", not discoverability of datasets proper.

In fact the problem may appear earlier in the text. A literal interpretation of the charter would indeed rule out all the "can be"s ("can be used", "can be processed"). the charter's view on usage and application is really about "was" or "is".

Coming back to the last bullet point: perhaps "availability', 'lifespan' are also relevant for applications. But it require a slightly different wording then.

Best,

Antoine
