Checklist

  • Ensure data is well-structured, intuitive and in a format that is easy to integrate and reuse by others
  • Design data to have clear and simple semantics to make common tasks easy. Rare tasks should still be possible but not the focus. Avoid being overly general, optimizing specific use cases.
  • Design data to be intuitive so that a semi-experienced user can be successful with minimal assistance from the documentation and programmers can easily integrate and reuse it.
  • Design data with a consistent and precise naming convention. Use plain language and recognizable patterns and concepts, avoiding abbreviations where possible.
