Re: [sdw] [SDW Best Practices Update]: Add FAIR principles to the document (#1290)

Its hard to imagine Reusability without semantically detailed description that includes quality.  This includes description of structure, semantics of objects and attributes (declared and observed) and the underlying semantics inherent in the relationship of observation or fiat processes to the capture of data - by which any quality measures derive meaning and fitness for use can be determined.

Putting accountability for fitness-for-purpose assessment (without knowing the end use)  on the data publisher, rather than on providing adequate description, can only result in less data, less well described and less value realised from the data. 

A parallel in disability access to facilities is that disability advocates are increasingly demanding information on actual dimensions  rather than a judgment applied without regard to the varying needs and capabilities of a wide spectrum of users.  FAIR should not assume knowledge of end use,
