Thank you Stephane and Rufus; That was really helpful. Rufus, please forgive my ignorance, but protocols, packages, standards and specifications? I know what specs and standards are but not sure what you mean by protocols and packages? Also, perhaps naive of me, but my trust in things increases when I see the community involved in things being produced and communities of adopters. In this list you sent how would a novice like myself be able to judge when looking at the pages? Of course I have trust in the sender, you, but how do I trust the robustness of what you sent, who is community developing this, what is the context, who are the creators, users, implementers? The site does not have much of that context info. Cheers t On Tue, Apr 28, 2015 at 1:48 PM, Stéphane Guidoin <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi Tracey, I don’t know of any comprehensive list of data standards, mainly because it would be so large that it would no longer be helpful. As Stéphane mentioned, once you get into domain-specific standards, you end up with a lot of competing standards. Also, I’m using “standard” here in the colloquial, loose sense to mean any specification. The best organized source for linked data vocabularies is http://lov.okfn.org/ There are other linked data vocabulary search engines, but LOV is the best in my experience, and it is actively maintained. For other lists of specs, you can look at: So far on this list, it seems that the suggestions in the replies to your original message have been mostly about specs that people find interesting - but not necessarily specs that have much widespread adoption. With the exception of Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX), those listed by Stéphane are from the community surrounding Code for America. The oldest of those is Yelp’s from 2012. Its partnership with Socrata may propel the spec to widespread use: http://www.socrata.com/newsroom-article/socrata-yelp-partner-open-restaurant-data-improve-global-public-health/ The non-spec pages with more context (e.g. list of adopters and people involved) for OpenTrails and HouseFacts are: The HDX spec was restarted after 2013; the earlier version can be seen at http://web.archive.org/web/20140221133907/http://hxl.humanitarianresponse.info/ The new version is still in development. As for the various Data Packages, hopefully Rufus can tell us more about their adoption, and whether they are stable or are still under active development. By the way, Popolo inventories the terms of specs that it researched as prior work (so that it may reuse the best of those specs) at http://www.popoloproject.com/appendices/terms.html As you can see, spec developers have come up with at least a dozen ways to express anything. Your list of specifications/standards looks good to me! I think Budget Data Package (http://fiscal.dataprotocols.org/) should be substituted for the linked OpenSpending spec. My understanding is that Budget Data Package was pursued instead of further development on that earlier spec. Cheers, James
