CSV on the Web Working Group: 3 Notes Published
25 February 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5297>
The CSV on the Web Working Group has published 3 Group Notes:
<https://www.w3.org/2013/csvw/>
* CSV on the Web: Use Cases and Requirements: A large percentage
of the data published on the Web is tabular data, commonly
published as comma separated values (CSV) files. The CSV on
the Web Working Group aim is to specify technologies that
provide greater interoperability for data dependent
applications on the Web when working with tabular datasets
comprising single or multiple files using CSV, or similar,
format. This document lists the use cases compiled by the
Working Group that are considered representative of how
tabular data is commonly used within data dependent
applications.
* Embedding Tabular Metadata in HTML: The Model for Tabular Data
and Metadata on the Web describes mechanisms for extracting
metadata from CSV documents starting with either a tabular
data file, or a metadata description. In the case of starting
with a CSV document, a procedure is followed to locate
metadata describing that CSV. Alternatively, processing may
begin with a metadata file directly, which references the
tabular data file(s). However, in some cases, it is preferred
to publish datasets using HTML rather than starting with
either CSV or metadata files.
* CSV on the Web: A Primer: CSV is one of the most popular
formats for publishing data on the web. It is concise, easy to
understand by both humans and computers, and aligns nicely to
the tabular nature of most data. The CSV on the Web Working
Group has developed standard ways to express useful metadata
about CSV files and other kinds of tabular data. This primer
takes you through the ways in which these standards work
together.
