Great. We are happy to share our Vocabulary draft with Junar and hope that
NuCivic, Socrata, and CKAN will also participate. Furthermore, we hope
that members of the Open Data Charter Stewardship Group will also provide
input.
Thanks Diego!

Hi all,
I do agree in the importance of talking about OD utilization, statistics,
metadata and more. Just let me know if there is any call or any specific
question we can work on to help.
Have a great day,

Hi Steve,
Thanks a lot for helping us to share and promote our activities on the
Dataset Usage Vocab. We are working on a new version of the vocab and as
soon as a more stable version is available, we're gonna share
this with the group.
We aim to produce a vocab that's gonna be really helpful and for this It
is important to gather feedback from the community!
cheers,
Bernadette

Phil,
Great points. I hope those on copy will work with us (W3C) to make sure
our Vocabulary standards have immediate real world impact.

The motivation behind developing the Dataset Usage Vocab is to avoid
publishers putting their data behind a registration step. I was talking
to someone this week about the EU's Copernicus data - a huge trove of
satellite imagery that the EC trumpets as a great example of open data.
She was a little non-plussed when I said that, since you have to login
and fill in a form that tells them what you plan to do with the data, it
can't be called open.
So the idea is to create not only a vocab but an incentive for data
re-users to publish info about what they've used and what they've sued
it for. I see two incentives:
- discovery (think schema.org);
- encouraging the publisher to keep on publishing.
Being able to 'ask the Web' who's using my data and what is it being
used for would be good.
This has some resonance with the research world's activities like
DataCite, CrossRef etc.
Phil.
