Notes on SDWBP - for discussion in 25 June call

Hi all

One of the agenda items for the call today is potential updates to the
SDWBP.  Along with a few others I offered to have a look through and make
some suggestions for what that might involve.

On reading back through, I was pleased to remember that it's pretty good!
Also in most respects it seems fairly up to date, and I did not find any
big issues.

Some specific points:

- check in detail that all links in examples are still valid.  I tried
quite a lot of them and haven't found broken ones yet, but I didn't check
comprehensively
- review implementation reports on SDWBP and see if those point to good
examples that could be added to some of the best practices
- add information on the new OGC APIs - section 12.3 and BP23 in particular
seems an appropriate place but perhaps also in other parts of the doc
- in BP1, we could update the link to DCAT to point to the revised DCAT2
instead. Also review DCAT2 to see if any of the new features are
particularly relevant for spatial data
- in BP2, we could perhaps add more detail on how to use schema.org
metadata to support search engines as schema.org has moved on quite a bit
in the last 3 years
- possibly add more explanation or examples of how non-spatial data
(whether a web page or linked data) can be connected to/from spatial
aspects of a spatial thing.  This is covered in 12.1.3 but the OGC APIs
make this kind of thing easier (in comparison to say WFS or typical
features of GIS software) and could make for a good illustration

Talk to you later

Bill
