Dear Angus, Thanks for the possibility. Overall it looks pretty good. I have some comments regarding the section “4. Will the repository sustain the data’s value?”, Discovery, Integration & Interoperability Basic level / Domain & contextual metadata Suggested addition: ... metadata can be deposited with the collection as an XML file (like a DDI [http://www.ddialliance.org/] XML file). Extensive level / Discovery metadata Suggested addition: the landing page for a data collection uses Linked Open Data standards (like The RDF Data Cube Vocabulary[http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-data-cube/] or DDI-RDF Discovery Vocabulary [http://www.ddialliance.org/Specification/RDF/Discovery]) to make metadata machine readable. Extensive level / Domain & contextual metadata Suggested addition: Machine-readable metadata in open standards could support processing and analyzing of open data. In general: Linking of discovery metadata and domain & contextual metadata would support purely machine-based discovery and processing. The linking could be possibly bi-directional.

This builds on previous work by the PREPARDE project and comments from colleagues, and we're now opening it up for wider comment. So we would love to hear what you think of it. Can you help us shorten or otherwise improve it?
