Hi Davide - Good work on the analyzing scientific spreadsheets use case<http://w3c.github.io/csvw/use-cases-and-requirements/#UC-AnalyzingScientificSpreadsheets>. A few editorial comments ... Paragraph 1 includes two references that need to be resolved; "cytokines [1]" and "excel files [2]". Paragraph 2; what are the common software packages used in this domain for such analyses? R, Matlab, Python?? Paragraph 4 references "the table" - would be good to embed a snippet of this example in the use case document text Paragraphs 4 and 8 both refer to issues relating to multiple heading rows (each with reference to the associated requirement); can these points be merged? Paragraph 5; instead of stating "it would be useful [...]", suggest the following text: The first column contains a GenBank identifier for each gene, with the column name "gene_name". The GenBank identifier provides a local identifier for each gene. This local identifier, e.g. "NM_008638", can be converted to a fully qualified URI by adding a URI prefix, e.g. "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_008638" allowing the gene to be uniquely and unambiguously identified. Thanks, Jeremy
