Re: My action 135

Hi Linda, Jeremy,

On Linda's advice I have added a new BP principle on the BP principles wiki
page <https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/BP_Principles>.

I also looked at the current description of audience groups in the current
draft of the BP document, with the ultimate goal of being able to close my
action conscientiously. I see that currently three target groups are
described:

   - custodians
   - web developers
   - content publishers

The description of the custodians group confuses me a bit. Custodians are
described as people that want to publish data. But isn't that what
data/content publishers do? It seems to me the job of custodians is to
store and curate data. With the current description, the custodians group
seems similar to the content publishers group.

Also I would like to repeat a remark I made in Amersfoort. I think that
next to web developers and data publishers more potential audiences for the
BP document exist. Some that I can think of are:

   - tool developers (e.g. desktop software that ingests spatial data for
   analysis, visualization or combination with other data)
   - data storage developers (e.g triple stores, spatial databases, web
   caches, ...)
   - ontologists/information modellers (developers of semantics that make
   use of semantics for spatiotemporal data)
   - search engine developers (they need to know how spatial data can be
   optimally crawled and indexed)

Wouldn't it be good to acknowledge and accomodate these audiences too?

Regards,
Frans
