Subject to W3C Member approval and other bits of process, we hope to launch a WG to define exactly that in the near future (say Sept/Oct). i.e. define a metadata format and association mechanisms with CSV so that you can express row and column headings, data types and, I hope, basic templating rules for turning string values into URIs but I'm not sure that's in the charter (I'm thinking something like GREL http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/wiki/GRELFunctions). That same data could be used to generate other formats besides RDF (OData etc.) More details soon but basically that's what's behind my hope that it may well be possible to publish data that is close to being 5 star linked data... without a triple store. -- Phil Archer W3C eGovernment http://www.w3.org/egov/ http://philarcher.org +44 (0)7887 767755 @philarcher1
