BP 5-Star Scheme

Hi all,

just some quick remarks concerning the vocabulary-specific phrasing of the
5-star scheme, having in mind that many people will probably be using this
document as a sort of Linked Data primer.

a. The first (and only) reference to the 5-star scheme, being where it is
now (section 6 - Vocabulary Creation), along with the vocabulary-specific
phrasing, can make people confused as to the 5-star scheme's actual
coverage.


b. There is a mismatch between the vocabulary-specific third star and the
original third star:

"use non-proprietary formats (e.g., CSV instead of Excel)"
vs
"Provide labels and descriptions, if possible in several languages, to make
your vocabulary usable in multiple linguistic scopes.
*" *

Shouldn't these be reflecting the same point? Unless of course I'm missing
the intended equality between the two phrases, in which case the latter
should probably be rephrased.

c. Again, for consistency between the GLD documents, the link to the 5-star
scheme should point to the LD Glossary entry (
http://www.w3.org/TR/ld-glossary/#x5-star-linked-open-data), as is the case
with other terms such as data modelling, http-uris, vocabularies in BP.

Thoughts?
