Re: Feedback and about intended outcomes of Data Vocabularies BP

Hi Antoine,

Thanks a lot for your fast response!

Are you ok with using the future tense?

For example: "Using standardized code lists and other commonly used terms
will enhance interoperability and consensus among data publishers and
consumers."

Our idea is that if the publisher uses the BP then "something will happen".
We used the future tense in other BPs. Does it make sense for you?

Thanks again!
Bernadette
