Feedback and about intended outcomes of Data Vocabularies BP

Hi Antoine,

We are making some editorial changes on the DWBP document and we made some
updates on the intended oucome of some BPs. I'd like to ask if you agree
with the rewriting of the following Data Vocabularies BP:

Best Practice 15: Use standardized terms

*** current version:

The benefit of using standardized code lists and other commonly used terms
is to enhance interoperability and consensus among data publishers and
consumers.


*** proposal:

Standardized code lists and other commonly used terms will enhance
interoperability and consensus among data publishers and consumers.


Best Practice 16: Reuse vocabularies

*** current version:

Datasets and metadata sets are easier to be compared by humans or machines
when they use the same vocabulary to describe metadata.

When two datasets or metadata sets use the same vocabulary, (automatic)
processing tools designed for one can be more easily applied to the other.
This greatly facilitates re-use of datasets.

*** proposal:

Using the same vocabulary to describe metadata will make datasets and
metadata sets easier to be compared by humans or machines. When two
datasets or metadata sets use the same vocabulary, (automatic) processing
tools designed for one can be more easily applied to the other. This
greatly facilitates re-use of datasets.


Thanks a lot!
Bernadette
