Notes de l'éditeur
- A key concept in the RDTF Vision is aggregation , directly or represented through metadata: to unlock riches held in our organisations, typically digital and online. This recognises the added value in assembly for tactical purpose – to improve ‘discoverability’. The ultimate aim being to improve access for research and educational purpose: for researchers, students and their teachers, - with few barriers for potential take-up beyond that
- Keep at a strategic level rather than diving into detailed issues and concerns Orientate towards opportunities and feasible steps, however small those might be.

- .Aggregation should be regarded as intervention to achieve value added improvement and context as aid to discoverability. Among their recommendations is that “such Aggregations should have supported APIs which are attractive to and convenient for developers”. Interpretation of other recommendations suggest that the Framework should: (a) assist Aggregators (extant and as funded aggregation projects) to demonstrate value to Content Providers were they to progressively follow each of the four Linked Data steps (b) encourage Content Providers to provide a semantic sitemap prior data aggregation, e.g. publication of RDF schema of underlying database, from a registry of recommended schemas provided as guidance by Aggregation services. http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData
