Hello,
I work with the French government on a project that aims at generating
metadata for the tabular data published on http://data.gouv.fr. CSVW
seems to be the right vocabulary for this purpose.
It's quite common in data.gouv.fr data to see columns that contain lists
of values separated by a different delimiter, or quoted.
color,size,cities
red,12,London;Madrid;San Diego
OR
red,12,"London,Madrid,San Diego"
In the CSVW vocabulary, I spotted a csvw:ordered boolean property that
defines whether the order of the values in a column should be preserved,
which makes me think CSVW supports this use case, somehow.
Are there examples of CSVW schemas that cover this situation and define:
- which column potentially contains lists of values
- what delimiter is used to separate the items of the lists
Thanks, and good job with the spec!
