Re: [datahub-discuss] Lot's of eggs, but where is the chicken? Foundation of a Data ID Unit

This is interesting...So, could *someone* please provide context
w.r.t. a couple prior and/or ongoing efforts:

* W3C DCAT <http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/>
* Schema.og/Dataset <http://schema.org/Dataset>
* Various Research Data Alliance (RDA) WGs on data citation,
persistent identification and typing of data/datasets
<http://rd-alliance.org/>
* The new W3C Data activity <http://www.w3.org/2013/data/>

etc...
