DC TAP now a draft

All,

I wanted to let you know that the Dublin Core Tabular Application 
Profiles specification is now a draft [1] on the DC site, and there is a 
blog post with additional information and links. [2]

We think that this draft is fairly stable, but we are now working on 
various extensions including a manifest. The manifest document will not 
be a single solution but examples of various ways that additional 
information about the table can be expressed.

What may be of interest to this group in that regard is that once we've 
gotten further on our ideas for a manifest we intend to analyze 
compatibility with the PROF vocabulary, and with the JSON context of CSV 
on the web.[3]

I also intend to try encoding DCAT-AP in TAP, although it is dauntingly 
large so I may just do a portion. In any case, I'll get back to you when 
I have more to report.

Thanks,

kc
