• Ensure data meets the specification

  Before publishing a data, I want to be able to validate that data I've collect meets the specification, so that I can fix any issues.

• Maintained data

  When using a dataset, I want to have confidence that the dataset is being maintained, so that I can trust that the data is relevent and usable.

• Provide feedback

  When data is incorrect or missing, I want to be able to inform the data maintainer, so that they can fix the dataset.

• Unrestrictive usage

  When building a service, I want to use data openly and without any prohibitive restrictions, so that I am able to get full value from the data.

• Up-to-date data

  When I am building a service, I want to have confidence that I have access to the most recent data, so that the thing I am building is useful and relevant.
