Few Observations on DWBP BP document

Dear editors,
First of all, thanks for the  efforts and the great work you have  done.
I think the BP document collects very useful BPs and that it is great to
have a unique document  where publishers and consumers can check for
 well-known and less-known BPs.

Below you can find few observations from my side, please accept my
apologies as I have not had the time to check  if any of them have been
already pointed out by other group members or have been previously
discussed.

* in  section 4- Context
 "Data is published in different distributions, which is a specific
physical form of a dataset."  should/ can be replaced "Data is published in
different distributions, which are  specific physical form of a dataset."

* in BP1: how to test?
About the sentence "Check if all provided metadata are coherent with the
described resource."  I am not sure to understand what kind of coherence we
are referring to. Perhaps we should specify it.
Otherwise, I would opt for suggesting "Check if human readable metadata  is
available"

* in  Bp2: How to test
 About the sentence "Check if the descriptive metadata is available in a
valid machine-readable" I would add  "description" or format  at the end of
it.

* in BP3: How to test:
there is an extra ")"  at the end of the  first sentence

* in BP13: Possible Approach to implementation
"Make data available in a machine readable standardized data format that is
easily parseable including but not limited to CSV, XML, Turtle, NetCDF,
JSON and RDF."

RDF is more  a  data model than  a data format, actually it can be
serialized in different serialization syntaxes  such as turtle, JSON-LD and
RDF/XML
I would replace the sentence above with
"Make data available in a machine readable standardized data format that is
easily parseable including but not limited to CSV, XML, Turtle, NetCDF,
JSON and RDF/XML ."
or
"Make data available in a machine readable standardized data format that is
easily parseable including but not limited to CSV, XML, NetCDF, JSON and
RDF serialization syntaxes like  RDF/XML, JSON-LD, turtle."


Many thanks again,
Cheers,
Riccardo
