Hi,

Many useful datasets on the Web take the form of tables. The goal of
this proposal is to provide a simple, schema.org-friendly way to "look
inside" these tables, and map their contents into triples.

This is an early draft proposal developed at Google. We're seeking
feedback from the community.

The proposal is attached to this e-mail, and will be uploaded to the
WebSchemas/SchemaDotOrgProposals page shortly.

Thanks,
-Omar
