5 star open Data
★ make your stuff available on the Web (whatever format) under an open license
★★ make it available as structured data (e.g., Excel instead of image scan of a table)
★★★ use non-proprietary formats (e.g., CSV instead of Excel)
★★★★ use URIs to identify things, so that people can point at your stuff
★★★★★ link your data to other data to provide context
The more stars a dataset has, the more value and benefits it has to offer when used in applications.
