Hi- I just added a couple of principles to the list [1]. - We should avoid tight coupling with Upper Ontologies ("compatible with" rather than "dependent upon"); we want to avoid data publishers having to commit to a given world view, as specified within a particular Upper Ontology, in order for them to use the Best Practices and any ontologies we develop ourselves. - The Best Practices must be actionable by web application developers who just (!) want to *use* spatial data not become GIS experts; spatial data is just one facet of the information space they work with, so let's not make it *special* by requiring up front knowledge. The first is in response to Action 52 that was assigned to me at yesterday's weekly call. The second, which I have been considering for some time, resonates with @eparsons comment from yesterday's weekly call about determining the audience for the BPs ... web folks- not (just) GIS experts.
