RE: Princples...

Thiago,
I  do not think we should be reiterating those practices – that is not our job. It would be unfortunate if we were contradictory, though.

In our case, it is not obvious to what extent this group is focusing on linked data, or not, and I think our views in the group  may be divergent.

The UCR document should be “A document setting out the range of problems that the working groups are trying to solve.”  So in that context  I thought to bring up the question ( deliberately phrased in the form that reflects my point of view!).

Hello Kerry,

For 5th principle, Does geospatial data must follow all practices of W3C Best Practices for Publishing Linked Data<http://www.w3.org/TR/ld-bp/> ?

Regards. Thiago

Here's 2 suggestions ( that may need improvement).

No 5. That community good practice for 5 star linked data be followed, including the use of so-called cool uris and  ontology annotations ( references need to be attached)

No 6. That ontologies  conform (" are valid" ? check) to the language of  owl2 dl.
(The latter is important for spatial and temporal reasoning.)

No 7. ( perhaps number  0) That these principles are aimed specifically at data published in RDF but where appropriate may also apply to other spatial data published on the web.

Hi Ed, Andreas,

I like the proposed principles so far.

Based on some of the comments in the last call, I wonder if we have to have a principle related to keeping the practices up to date?

I realise that this might over-commitment from a WG with a specified lifespan but if maintaining currency is a principle then the two sponsor organisations may be encouraged to reconvene WGs to review and update the Best Practices periodically.

Cheers,

How about the following?

Principle No.3 : Best Practices have to be visible.

We will link to at least one (or two, three?) publicly available
example(s) of a non-toy dataset that follows the best practice.

Cheers,
Andreas.
