Can https://www.w3.org/TR/csv2rdf/ be used to describe a binary file? For example, take a binary file with one column as long and the second column as an int and with multiple records of (long+int) that would be 64 bits + 32 bits = 96 bits wide for each row. I started to create a vocabulary to do this but CSVW seemed to be similar enough that it would work but perhaps a bit of a bending of the original intent of csvw. I would think it would look something like this with CSVW/schema.org: { "@id" : "example.bin/", "@type" : "https://schema.org/MediaObject", "contentSize" : "34806000", "description" : "a simple two-column binary file long/int", "encodingFormat" : "application/octet-stream", "tableSchema" : "_:b137" }, { "@id" : "_:b137", "column" : { "@list" : [ "example.bin/#col=0", "example.bin/#col=1" ] }, "https://www.w3.org/ns/csvw/header" : false }, { "@id" : "example.bin/#col=0", "@type" : "https://www.w3.org/ns/csvw/Column", "datatype" : "xsd:unsignedLong" }, { "@id" : "example.bin/#col=1", "@type" : "https://www.w3.org/ns/csvw/Column", "datatype" : "xsd:unsignedInt" } I think it would be useful to describe a binary file in RDF. - Erich
