ERC as Data Package #45

Open nuest opened 6 years ago

nuest commented 6 years ago

From the Open Data community, there comes a specification Data Package: https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/data-package/

It's quite simple with some metadata and a list of resources in a JSON file.

I like the simplicity of the schema as well as of its presentation page. Also the option to validate it against a json schema is good. Regarding the actual elements of the metadata set there is too few required fields. Although less requirements is better for the authors and the acceptance of a md schema, its practical applicability decreases when license and other information is not required. Effectively an almost empty schema would be valid in that spec whereas repositories require a certain minimum.
