That came from Simple Data Format/JSON Table Schema, which adds various properties (type, title, format, description) to the schema for each column. I can see it being particularly useful for dates, where you might need to specify that the dates are in mm/dd/yyyy rather than dd/mm/yyyy format, for example. http://dataprotocols.org/simple-data-format/ http://dataprotocols.org/json-table-schema/ Alf
