22. Closing Thoughts Universal tool: Can work with any existing or future published data flows Promotes Data Publishing Best Practices: So data isn’t just published but well-described Needs Content: Will rely on data publishers to take advantage of features Value will increase over time as more data is published Meta Data to describe data set with disclaimers? Stylesheet Library to promote reuse?
