I propose to change the Why section to be more specific about the use of shared vocabularies. My proposal is below:
"Shared vocabularies, i.e., vocabularies that capture a consensus
of the community about a specific domain, helps to increase
interoperability between datasets, encouraging reuse of the data.
Shared vocabularies should be used to describe both structural
metadata as well as other types of metadata (descriptive,
provenance, quality and versioning). The use of shared
vocabularies to describe metadata helps the automatic processing
of data and metadata."
