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.
BR, Jeremy
