Re: [dxwg] Options for metadata to describe tabular data in a more structured way? (#1418)

Maybe there are a couple different use cases here:
1.  what are the variables that are specified in the dataset (whether they are columns in a csv or keys in a JSON object, etc...). This is useful for discovery. Schema.org variableMeasured (see [Science on schema.org discussion](https://github.com/ESIPFed/science-on-schema.org/blob/issue27-measuredVariable/guides/Issue27-UpdatesForDatasetVariables.md)) might be sufficient for this (see 
2. what is the data structure  (tabular-- long? wide?, objects, grids...). This is useful to the reuse part for FAIR, and making metadata machine-actionable.  W3c data cube, DDI provide tools for this-- can DCAT make recommendation on which to use, how, and when?
