One comment on "CSV on the Web" WDs

After some internal discussion at TopQuadrant between Irene Polikoff,
Holger Knublauch, Richard Cyganiak and myself, we have only have
suggestion. The rows of a tabular dataset typically describe instances of a
common class, so we think it would make sense for the the schema section of
the "Metadata Vocabulary" document (
http://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-metadata/#dfn-schema) to include a way to
identify that class--for example, to say that the rows of example 2 in
"Generating RDF from Tabular Data on the Web" are instances of foaf:Person,
that the rows in example 5 are instances of schema:Country, that the rows
of example 28 of "Metadata Vocabulary for Tabular Data" are instances of
xyz:Employee, etc.

The output shown in Example 3 of "Generating RDF from Tabular Data on the
Web" would then include something like "a schema:Person" along with the
_col=1, _col=2, etc. values.

Thanks,
