AW: CSV on the Web - QB vocabulary

Dear Jeremy,

Thank you for your answer [1]. Unfortunately, since I am not subscribed to public-csv-wg-comments, I only found it now.

Your example [2] is interesting.

I am wondering whether based on your work it would be possible to have a more compact representation of a qb:DataSet with:

1) A definition of a qb:DataSet with a link to the metadata of a CSV file and a link to the CSV file (or links to rows in a CSV file)
2) A definition of a qb:DataStructureDefinition with links to instances of qb:DimensionProperty, qb:MeasureProperty, and qb:AttributeProperty, each with links to columns in the CSV file.

Given the data and metadata one could have an algorithm similar to the QB Normalization algorithm [3] to translate this compact to a normalized qb:DataSet.

Best

Benedikt

Hi Benedikt - I always had an eye on using the [RDF Data Cube][1] as output from the CSV to RDF conversion. 

To illustrate use of the RDF Data Cube for converted CSV data I have created a real example - based on historical weather observations published by the [Met Office][2]. The example is described [here][3].

Please let us know if this illustrates what you need to know.
