The model publication scheme can arguably be satisfied with a lot of
textual or unstructured information, which may make collection at a
national level rather difficult. (e.g. "locations and contacts" is just
a webpage with a few addresses on it).

It might be worth considering terms for each of the things in the
publication scheme, and making the publication scheme itself an
(extensible) collection of facts in the vein of linkingyou.

I'm interested in the new code of practice
(http://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/information-access-rights/foi/code-of-practice-datasets.pdf)
as its section vii says that public authorities should consider the
ongoing publication of datasets in their publication scheme.

I merely thought it would be an interesting thing to record; usefulness
has still to be determined. I've only collected linkingyou information
for the University itself, and not for its colleges or departments.

Any ideas for how it might be helpful ;-).

Best regards,

Alex
