> I am writting on behalf of the Wheat Data Interoperability working group. We are considering following the recommendations provided by the CSV on the Web working group to provide guidelines on how to publish wheat data in tabulated files, specificaly germplasm passport information.
> We started for instance a metadata document available at the following: https://github.com/edzale/wheat/blob/master/mcpd.json <https://github.com/edzale/wheat/blob/master/mcpd.json>
> I would appreciate if you could help us answer the following questions:
> Is there any way to specify a list of accepted values for a column? For instance, for the column "ORIGCTY" in our schema, how could we indicate that the values for this coumn should come from an existing controlled list (either available at a specific URL or embeded within the schema)? Also, for the same column, how could we establish a link out (same as, see also, etc.) to the geonames ontolotogy?
> Thank you very much.
