Fwd: Re: Working on FPWD, more to do

Hi all,

Good discussion...and I'm wondering if we've come back to the link with 
the quality vocabulary..

Adding a maturity model approach to BPs is like adding another dimension 
- a quality dimension.

Like the example Makx described with metadata having different levels 
and what is possible with each level.

Could these levels be cross-referenced with a quality vocabulary?

I'd also like to draw your attention to the Open Data Maturity Model 
that Leigh Dodds is working on:
http://theodi.org/blog/developing-an-open-data-maturity-model

Cheers,
Deirdre
