RE: Addition of map to use case

As was suggested, I am providing some additional information related to the addition of a map to the newspaper use case. The chart and the map can definitely be related. The map can show the categorized spatial distribution of some phenomenon, such as traffic deaths, and the chart can show the annual cost by some property (sex, age category, and so forth). An example is here http://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/index.html .

So, the use case simply needs to be reworded a bit:

The newspaper publishes a story with a chart based on GovData along with a photo, supplied by a freelancer, illustrating an impacted group.

becomes

The newspaper publishes a story with an incidence map and associated chart based on GovData along with a photo, supplied by a freelancer, illustrating an impacted group.

And many of the provenance requirements for inclusion of location/geography for the geo/GIS industry can be incorporated into the work of the WG.
