[datahub-discuss] Lot's of eggs, but where is the chicken? Foundation of a Data ID Unit

Thu Apr 17 20:55:34 UTC 2014

Hi,
 we have just released a draft version of our W3C note on dataset
description [1] for comment. It would be worthwhile to compare this with
your DataID proposal, so as to see what considerations our community had,
and whether we have inadvertently missed something that you may require.

Cheers,

m.
