Dear friends,
Please Find my comments about Open Data Initiative Datasets Metadata:
What are your priorities for publication of datasets identified in the data asset inventory?
Access to the Financial reports and SOs/ACs output should be the priorities of the open data initiative
Are there any errors or omissions in the data asset inventory?
Does the proposed metadata vocabulary meet your needs?
The Catalog object have (0,1) carnality and will include only Dataset, Looking to the ICANN structure and activities it will be useful to include the concepts sub-catalog(s) (or collection(s)) within a catalog.
Did the downloadURL Field content will be limited to a link to the dataset materials or It will be used as a ressource to index the content of this dataset materials? Indexing dataset materials will be useful in order to implement powerful search engine on full-text and media, this will make Dataset materials more visible for the community.
In another hand a few metadata vocabulary are really used within the data asset inventory, Example in the case of text and media files this metadata could be easily enriched by the properties of this files.
Access Field should depend on license tag.
Publisher Field cardinality is (1,1) : Dataset may be published by several Organisations not only one.
