Some things to look into:\n- coverageStart and coverageEnd (currently, the datasetTimeInterval has DateTime, not interval, as its expected time, which I think is not correct, or at least doesn't allow us to specify the coverage interval)\n  timestep (dct:accrualPeriodicity)\n- bibliographic reference: many of the dataset refer to the paper that describes it\n- Main variables measured -- without necessarily knowing the distinction of which ones are dimensions and which ones are measures qb:dimensionProperty and qb:MeasureProperty)\n# Related work\n\nThis all starts to get into the business of looking inside the dataset, which was discussed at schema.org previously - e.g. see [Looking inside tables](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2013Aug/0033.html) thread from Omar. Subsequently in [W3C CSVW](https://www.w3.org/2013/csvw/wiki/Main_Page) some of these ideas went standards track, in particular a templating mechanism to map tabular data into RDF.\n- See also the (SDMX-oriented) [W3C Data cube specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-data-cube/).\n- [W3C DCAT final specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/) (earlier drafts inspired the schema.org Dataset design) \n- More recently: [DCAT Application Profile for data portals in Europe (DCAT-AP)](https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/dcat_application_profile/description) - @danbri discussed briefly w/ DCAT-AP team the possibility of using a JSON-LD-based @context for DCAT-AP as an 'external extension'.\n- [CSVW RDF examples using data cube](https://github.com/w3c/csvw/blob/gh-pages/examples/simple-weather-observation.md) vocabulary from @6a6d74\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/danbri","@type":"Person","name":"danbri"},"datePublished":"2016-04-06T14:25:49.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":30},"url":"https://github.com/1083/schemaorg/issues/1083"}
