RE: Thought for URI section

Phil,

Interesting issue. I'd like to mention that in work that is being done around the DCAT application profile for data portals in Europe (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/137964/), it has been noted that in DCAT, the W3C recommendation for describing datasets, there is currently no recommended way to describe time series.

As far as I am aware, the approach you suggest cannot be expressed in DCAT as it is now. For the Application Profile, there is a discussion on how to model time series in DCAT, and it is scheduled that a draft for public review will be issued in the middle of May.

Makx.
