Invitation to Review Use-Cases and Requirements (UCR)
of the
W3C Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group (DWBP)

Dear Data-lovers,

We are delighted to announce the Second Public Working Draft of the W3C DWBP Use Cases & Requirements (UCR) document http://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp-ucr/. The use-cases and requirements contained in UCR will form the basis for the following working-group deliverables:
·         Data on the Web Best Practices
·         Data Quality and Granularity Description Vocabulary
·         Data Usage Description Vocabulary

We would like to invite you all to review the UCR doc, to ensure we have accurately captured a wide range of requirements that address the challenges associated with ‘Data on the Web’. This can include Open Data, closed/restricted data, Linked Data, Big Data, government data, scientific data, private-sector data, messy data, etc.

In addition, if you feel a certain instance of Data on the Web is underrepresented, we would love to hear your new use-cases. Use-cases from all domains are welcome. The template for use-cases is below (completing only the relevant fields are fine).

All new use-cases will be posted on the W3C DWBP wiki here https://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/wiki/Second-Round_Use_Cases and will be discussed at the upcoming W3C TPAC meeting http://www.w3.org/2014/11/TPAC/ (join us on Thurs 30th & Fri 31st if you’re attending). These use-cases may then be incorporated in the next version of UCR.
