Some observations on UCs • Some UCs document existing work (EP UC) • Others do not (MSD UC) • Many cases clear need for shared metadata schema • Not so clear where linked data comes in; reuse of other vocabularies or not? Else it’s Open Data, not Linked Open Data • Goals not very diverse; • reuse of vocabs • Linking to other datasets • Sometimes LLD principles are written down in application or goal section • Some UCs are really abstract • UC Digital Preservation • UC Component Vocabularies • UC Language Technology • UC Recollection • Isn’t UC International Registry for Authors about creating a new vocabulary?
