Data on the Web Lifecycle

  • Data Selection
  • Data Organization
  • Data Publication
  • Data Usage
  • Feedback

Best Practices Themes (challenges)

Data Selection

  • Data Selection (the requirements to be reviewed)

Data Organization

  • Metadata
    • Licenses
    • Data quality
    • Provenance
  • Data vocabulary
  • Data granularity
  • Data identification

Data Publication

* Data formats 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.

  • Data access
  • Sensitive data (privacy)
  • Preservation
  • Data versioning

Data usage

  • Data usage
  • Data enrichment

Feedback(?)

  • Data usage feedback
  • Data to be published
  • Lifecycle

Conclusions

Each theme will have:

  • a description
  • 01 or more best practices
  • link between best practices and requirements

[1] The themes were based on the Use Case Challenges and Requirements: http://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp-ucr/, https://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/wiki/Best_practices_guidelines

Scope Thoughts:

  • Is it unique to publishing data on the web?
  • Does addressing it encourage people to publish/reuse data on the web (or remove barriers to it)?
    • is it testable?
    • is it about publishing data on the web?
  • requirements/ issues are in the scope and can be testable then they will be in the recommendation
  • requirements/ issues are in the scope and can not be testable then they will be in a note
  • requirements/ issues out of scope will be deleted
