RE: Experiences with the form

I'm making some direct personal contacts with people re the evidence.  Just flagging this up.  I've also passed it to Jeanne Holm hoping that she'll pass it on to others in the LA area.  

If there are snappier ways of gathering the information please let me know ASAP so that I can update these contacts.

Cheers

Peter

Subject: Experiences with the form

Dear all,

I know that Newton, Carol et al are all involved in the web.br 
conference that Dee and I enjoyed going to last year but I wanted to 
share some experiences with the evidence form.

1. It takes a *long* time to fill in. Also it asks for a URL for every 
BP when I'm trying to assess a specific dataset, so I keep on pasting 
the same URL in each time.

2. All I've done so far is to find an example dataset (by looking at 
datahub.io and choosing the first one listed today) and worked with 
that. I haven't been able to finish filling in the form yet but there 
are several where my ideal answer would be 'partially passed' rather 
than a straight pass/fail.

I'm looking at https://datahub.io/dataset/loddw. The descriptive 
metadata is very poor, most of what is there is auto-generated by CKAN 
anyway. There certainly isn't the rich metadata we'd like to see.

I'll try and get to the end but it will take a while.

3. But! What I did notice was that the metadata includes the name of the 
individual responsible. So I thought I'd look him up and ask *him* to 
fill in the form (Twitter is *so* useful). See

Targeting individuals like this might be an efficient way of encouraging 
them to fill in the form?

And, @newton, sorry, but the form is out of date since it has the 
original locale BP still at no. 4. That really needs to be updated to 
match the doc for which we're gathering evidence of implementation.

I don't think there'll be a call tomorrow but I can't join one of there is.

Cheers

Phil.
