Re: Which URI should we use in our examples?

I can live with "dataset" as a placeholder for a real identifier for the 
dataset, if "/road" and "bus-" come out. We should not be suggesting 
people build long, redundant URIs. That is not a best practice.
It's not clear to me whether you are thinking that all datasets 
published by the transport agency would have /dataset near the end of 
the path. That would not be a good idea for a RESTful API, because it 
would complicate the regular expressions that filter out the various 
requests. You want to be able to chop off a base URI and work on the 
stuff that decides the response.
