I tried to add the required information. I found the following issues  
difficult to address:
- Missing download(s). Please provide a link to the download file(s) if  
available in the Downloads & Resources section
--> There is no such section on thedatahub.org

- Missing instance namespace. Please provide the namespace used for  
instances of the dataset.
--> I do not know where to put this information


The test site does an automatic check for the availability of the example  
resources and indicates 404. This is incorrect, as c&p of the link given  
does resolve.


Additionally, Opera does not provide access to all pages of  
thedatahub.org. I then used Firefox, where access to submenus was  
possible. This might be worth looking into, as the bug is rather subtle  
(you do not notice that you do not see something you were supposed to see)
