The Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group, Data on the Web Best Practices
are delighted to announce the publication of the Data on the Web Best Practices document, Data on the Web Best Practices
the Dataset Usage Vocabulary, Data on the Web Best Practices: Data Quality Vocabulary
and the Data Quality Vocabulary, Data on the Web Best Practices: Data Quality Vocabulary

These deliverables are the outcome of two and a half years of
collaborative effort from the Working Group. We believe the Best
Practices document and vocabularies are complete, and would love to hear
your final comments before they become a W3C Candidate Recommendation
(BP doc) and Working Group Notes (vocabs). We are also eager to hear how
you are implementing, or plan to implement, the Data on the Web Best
Practices.

The Data on the Web Best Practices document offers advice on
how data of all kinds – government, research, commercial – can be
shared on the Web, whether openly or not. The underlying aim is to make
data intelligently available, maximizing the likelihood of its discovery
and reuse. The provision of a variety of metadata, the use of URIs as
identifiers and multiple access options are key to this.

The Dataset Usage Vocabulary offers a framework in which
citations, comments, and uses of data within applications can be
structured. The aim is to benefit data publishers by enabling assessment
of the impact of their efforts to share data, and to benefit data users
by encouraging the continued availability of data and the visibility of
their own work that uses it.

The Data Quality Vocabulary offers a framework in which the
quality of a dataset can be described, whether by the dataset publisher
or by a broader community of users. It does not provide a formal,
complete definition of quality, rather, it sets out a consistent means
by which information can be provided such that a potential user of a
dataset can make his/her own judgment about its fitness for purpose.

Please send any comments or examples of how you are using the Best Practices to public-dwbp-comments@w3.org (subscribearchives).
All feedback is welcome and will be responded to.
We look forward to hearing from you!

I’m sorry not, but it is a great integration work… like all other W3C works

I’ll looking to “follow” those involved in my social network (Twitter and LinkedIn) and after send invitation to follow our forums.

The Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group has produced some amazing work in these 3 years. I encourage every data wrangler out there to check it out and comment.

As for people in the network that have been involved, I did participate in a few of the first WG meetings in 2013 and also sent some minor contributions to a recent working draft.

@yasodara_cordova is one of the working group chairs and has recently been writing about the DWBP piecemeal at the W3C Brasil’s blog. Deirdre Lee has also been tweeting about it in a similar way.
