Goal:Achieve balance between openness vs. protection, distributed vs. controlled, standardized vs. loosely-coupled data relationships.
Slide credit: Scott Brinker @chiefmartec
32Wednesday, May 30, 12

• Use OPEN vs proprietary in data formats
• Define a URI Policy and Strategy, document it and ensure editors & authors use it
• Best practices and vocabularies exist -- don’t recreate the wheel
