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.
Cheers,
Joachim

Subject: Please comment on our new draft guide
'where to keep your data'
DCC has a new draft checklist for Evaluating Data Repositories
titled " Where to keep your data: key considerations".
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? Let us know
please by Feb 24 at
