Yesterday a DRAFT of the German "Open Government Data Standard 2.0" was
published on the Joinup platform of the European Commission:
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/ogd2_0/description

Be prepared: The title of the document is in English but the text is German.

The specification is about "metadata".

The plan is to make it a standard which is legally binding for all
branches of the German government.

Please submit comments / issues within the next six weeks:
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/ogd2_0/issue/all

And if you find that your issue has already been raised: feel free to
add a comment supporting it !

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Alex,

an English translation of the document is not provided. You can raise
that issue.

I already raised this issue:

Replace German by English class and attribute identifiers

Cheers,

Hi Andreas & Alex,

If it helps, I published the main calculation in "American" - meaning in actuarial terms which American citizens won't have to learn (my fellows are a grouchy bunch when asked to preform an actual specification reading ritual). The fact is that although the United States is by many measures a young country it is for governmental accounting a respectably old representative democracy over-layed on a former set of colonial subdivisions.

It is easy enough to make a perpetual calendar "Data Base" ...
2016|
[21st Century, 2nd Decade of the Century, 7th Year of the Decade]|
[241st Summer of Independence, 228th Year since Founding Constitution]| (Midsummer Serialization=Northern Hemisphere)
[57th Presidential Election, 4th Year of Office]| (Presidential Election held every four years)
[114th Congress 2nd Session]| (A Congress, 2 one year terms with elections held every two years)
State of the Union Address / Annual Report|

The cardinality of the institution anniversaries is arbitrary.
If you want to virtualize, by which I mean publish your supposed start years, you can.

Germany will have to add 239 to their version number (2.0) but the rest of the EU will have to add 241 to catch up. :)

For every year, the result is a balance sheet "form" with a 17 unit long [A ... Q] vector to fill it:
2016Annual Report: Monthly Reports Monthly Reports Monthly Reports Quarterly Reports Annual Report
2016:1st Quarter C D E B A
2016:2nd Quarter G H I F
2016:3rd Quarter K L M J
2016:4th Quarter O P Q N
============================================ ============= ==========
Column
Sum = {3 Gov Years} {1 Gov-Year} {1 Gov Year} {1 Gov Year}

Q: So who is putting Schrödinger's Cat on trial 17 times a year ?
A: Schrödinger's Cat's Tax Accountant.
