I think this muddies the picture a little bit. If we hint that we are attempting to provide guidance to people other than publishers, then we need to explain that. (Who else? Why would I want to read it if I’m not a data publisher?) I’m fine with the simpler language, but I’ll offer this alternative to the alternative. This document provides guidance to those who publish data on the Web. The best practices are designed to meet the needs of information management staff, developers, and wider groups such as scientists interested in sharing and reusing research data on the Web. We encourage anyone involved in the data life cycle to become familiar with them, as today’s data consumers are tomorrow’s data publishers. Every attempt has been made to make the document as readable and usable as possible while still retaining the accuracy and clarity needed in a technical specification. -- Annette Greiner NERSC Data and Analytics Services Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 510-495-2935 On Jan 7, 2015, at 10:46 AM, Phil Archer <phila@w3.org> wrote: > I offer this: > > This document provides guidance primarily to those who publish data on the Web.
