[data-protocols] Looking inside tables

[Omar Benjelloun]

Hi all,

You may be interested in the proposal I posted to the public-vocabs at w3.orglist.

http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/LookInside

The idea is to provide a mechanism to map CSV or HTML tables into semantic
vocabularies (e.g. from schema.org) to enable a semantic understanding of
their actual contents.

The examples in the above description focus on simple tables / existing
schema.org vocabularies, but I believe this approach can be useful in many
open data scenarios, e.g. to enable discovery, composition and
visualization of datasets.

Your thoughts / comments are welcome!

Best,
-Omar
