Intended Outcomes

In the last few days, I and others have been doing a careful review of 
the Data on the Web Best Practices doc which, modulo those reviews, is 
now close to completion.

During that process, I have suggested to those editors that intended 
outcomes be phrased much more succinctly and directly than they are at 
present. For example:

Rather than:

"Complementary data presentations will enable human consumers to have 
immediate insight into the data by presenting it in ways that are 
readily understood."

I have suggested

To provide humans with immediate insight into the data.

Applying this approach to BP1 in the SDW-BP doc, rather than

Entities (SpatialThings) described in a dataset will each be identified 
using a globally unique HTTP URI so that a given entity can be 
unambiguously identified in statements that refer to that entity.

I'd have:

A given entity can be unambiguously identified across the Web in 
statements that refer to that entity.



Cheers

Phil.
