AW: AW: AW: AW: AW: [QB-UCR] Review comments

Hi Ghislain,

Good question but difficult to answer.

Indeed, in the QB-UC document [1] we mainly describe use cases that were possible to be implemented with QB. We show that QB shall be broadly applicable.

It depends a little on what you mean with "given dataset". If you mean multi-dimensional data (e.g., as defined by SDMX), I think, you should be able to at least partly represent any dataset using QB. Of course, there are things that cannot be represented with QB, e.g., aggregation functions, certain hierarchical relationships, provenance information and more general dataset metadata. In those cases, QB can be complemented by other vocabularies (e.g., DCAT, VoiD, COGS, PROV, QB4OLAP, SKOS, XKOS).

I hope that helps.

Best,

Benedikt

Hi Benedikt, all

Regarding QB/QB-UC and Best Practices, could it be possible to help the
publishers to know whether a given dataset *can not * be model using
Data Cube? Or is there any pointer?

TIA
