Looking at BP 7, I don’t understand the idea. I’m wondering what we are defining as a “data resource”. From the text, it seems we are using it in the sense of whatever is linked to. That seems fair, because datasets can be available as a single file or several files or by separate API requests for very specific queries, etc. So, if a data resource is a data element that is linked to, then it is represented by a URL. The discussion of URNs is clearly out of scope for us, as they are not on the web. That leaves URLs, but then the best practice comes down to ensuring a unique URL for whatever has a URL. I think it would be impossible to not do that an still put something on the web. In the context of data on the web, I don’t think much of this best practice is in scope, and the bit that is in scope is tautological. -Annette -- Annette Greiner NERSC Data and Analytics Services Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 510-495-2935
