Comment:

1. BP-1 ("Document data") seems to mix two different requirements:
(a) publishing data documentation (metadata)
(b) publishing metadata in human-readable formats
Is this correct?
In such a case, shouldn't these be rather addressed by two different
BPs? The requirement of publishing metadata shouldn't necessarily
address *how* this is done. This would also be inconsistent with the
fact that the requirement about publishing metadata in
machine-readable formats is addressed by a specific BP (BP-2).
