Related notes:
I drafted a short summary of the section Data Formats with Sumit. The following is what we created.
Best practices on data formats include considerations on making data available in multiple open and machine readable formats for example RDF and JSON. In addition this section will include guidance on preferred data formats for example preferred formats for date, string and numbers. Guidance will also be provided on expressing data in multiple languages. While mentioned in the use case document as challenge, the best practices document should not make recommendations regarding the formats of source data for example database dumps, spreadsheets. It is expected that data sources for data on the web will continue to be in multiple formats.
